Arguably the sweetest holiday of them all, Easter is often a time where friends and family get together, chocolate is eaten in excess, and hearts and bellies are left full.
For those planning on putting on a spread this Easter, or are heading over to a friend’s house for a non-competitive (it’s always competitive) Easter egg hunt, Tori Minell has created the ultimate sweet treat for you to bring to the table.
Consisting of a hollow Easter egg filled to the brim with decadent cheesecake filling, and topped with moreish Biscoff biscuits and spread, these Biscoff Cheesecake Easter Eggs will be the big ticket item worth searching for on your easter egg hunt.
This recipe yields one Biscoff cheesecake easter egg and serves two, so if you're planning on making more be sure to double (or triple) the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 large hollow Cadbury egg
- ½ packet Biscoff biscuits (saving some for crumble and topping)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 220g full fat cream cheese (bring to room temperature)
- 3 tbsp Biscoff spread
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ½ cup thickened cream
Method
- Blitz Biscoff biscuits into crumbs in a food processor. Add the melted butter to the crumbs and mix well.
- Whip the cream cheese, thickened cream, vanilla essence and 2 tbsp of Biscoff spread until thick and fluffy (approx. 3 minutes).
- Unwrap the Easter eggs and boil some water. Fill a tall jug with boiling water. Dip a large sharp knife in water until warm. Quickly dry the knife on a tea towel.
- Score and then cut through the side seam of the egg, starting on one side and carefully scoring and gently pressing the knife until you have cut the egg in half.
- To assemble the eggs, spoon the biscuit crumb base mix into the eggs. Press down very gently. Add the cream cheese mixture ensuring an even layer. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours to set.
- Remove from the fridge and decorate with extra Biscoff cookies and melted Biscoff spread.
