These creamy mini cheesecake cups feature a rich cream cheese filling topped with Cadbury Mini Eggs, perfect for festive occasions and easy to make in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g (3.5 oz) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 50g (1.75 oz) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 200g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 100g (3.5 oz) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 150ml (2/3 cup) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Cadbury Mini Eggs, about 2-3 per cup
  • Optional: melted chocolate or crushed Mini Eggs for topping

Instructions

  1. Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Mix crumbs with melted butter and sugar until combined (about 5 minutes).
  2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon (15g) of crumb mixture into each mini muffin cup. Press down firmly to create an even crust layer. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix until combined (5 minutes).
  4. Whip cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture to keep it light and fluffy (7 minutes).
  5. Spoon cheesecake filling over chilled crusts, filling nearly to the top. Press 2-3 Cadbury Mini Eggs gently into the filling (10 minutes).
  6. Refrigerate cheesecake cups for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  7. Carefully remove mini cheesecakes from the tin. Optionally drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed Mini Eggs before serving (5 minutes).

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to maintain fluffiness. Chill crust well before adding filling to prevent sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with vegan alternatives. Gluten-free option available by using gluten-free crackers.
