I’ve shared so many of my favourite No Bake Cheesecakes with you already, like this Mint Chocolate Chip No Bake Cheesecake, and this Strawberry Swirl No Bake Cheesecake. This Easy No Bake Mini Eggs Cheesecake uses the same no-fail no-bake cheesecake method, so I thought it would be a good idea to share some basic tips for helping your no bake cheesecakes set:

  1. Use full fat cream cheese. Low fat cream cheese has a higher water content and therefore liquifies more at room temperature than regular full fat cream cheese does. Using full fat cream cheese will help keep your no bake cheesecake firm and help it slice cleanly.
  2. Use whipped cream whipped to stiff peaks.  Under-whipped cream can be too liquid-y and therefore prevent the cheesecake from setting.
  3. Set the cheesecake in the fridge first, and then the freezer for best results. My no bake cheesecakes always turn out best when the chill for 6-8 hours in the fridge and then spend 3-4 hours in the freezer to firm up for those gorgeous, clean slices.
  4. Don’t add too many extra ingredients. Too many chunks of chocolate, fruit, or, in this case, Mini Eggs, can prevent the cheesecake from setting properly and make it more difficult to slice cleanly. Be sure to use only what the recipe calls for.

Author Chrissie (thebusybaker.ca)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 600 grams full fat cream cheese (approximately 21 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups whipped cream (or substitute high fat whipped topping)
  • 2 cups Mini Eggs candy-coated chocolate Easter eggs, crushed
  • 12 more Mini-Eggs and extra whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter to a bowl and stir until well combined.

  2. Press the graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) spring form cake pan. Chill in the fridge to set while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

  3. Whip the cream cheese on high speed using a stand mixer or hand mixer until light and fluffy.

  4. Beat in the powdered sugar until well combined.

  5. Fold in the whipped cream (or whipped topping) gently.

  6. Fold in the crushed Mini Eggs until they're distributed throughout.

  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.

  8. Place the cheesecake in the fridge for 6-8 hours, or overnight.

  9. Transfer to the freezer for an additional 3-4 hours to finish setting.

  10. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before slicing and serving, garnishing with a swirl of whipped cream and more Mini Eggs.

Recipe Notes

If making this cheesecake several days ahead of time, store in the freezer and move to the fridge for 1-2 hours before slicing and serving.

    When it calls for 2 cups of whipped cream is it 2 cups of heavy whipping cream that is then whipped or 2 cups after it has been whipped?

      The brick cream cheese is the best – it’s got a little less air whipped into it and a lot less water, so it’s best for desserts as it keeps its shape.

    If you are making ahead of time do you stil need to put it in the fridge to set before the freezer? Or can I skip the fridge part until the day I’m serving?

    This looks great I am definitely making this for Easter! I will be making this tomorrow (Friday) night and serving on Sunday, should I just stick it in the freezer right after I make it and skip the fridge ?

      The whipped cream is plain whipped cream – no sugar or flavourings needed since the other ingredients sweeten and flavour the cheesecake.

    Hi. My cream cheese packages are 250 grams. Your recipe calls for 600 grams. Will 2 x 250 be enough? About to make this recipe today. Thanks.

    Have you tried making this (or any of your no-bake cheesecakes) into mini cheesecakes? Like in a muffin tin with cupcake liners? Just wondering if it works out ok

    Reply

    • Chrissie says

      I wouldn’t suggest this, as they stick to the paper liners quite easily. My suggestion would be to make these in small mason jars or other small serving dishes for individual servings.

    I had this last weekend at our family’s Easter dinner and it was delicious! It is so much lighter than a traditional baked cheesecake. We liked it so much that I am making it again this weekend for company. Thanks for a great recipe!
