Can you believe that spring is right around the corner?? I’ve been busy in the kitchen working on all kinds of delicious spring and summer recipes for you and I’ve got some amazingly delicious content coming your way soon that’s perfect for when the weather gets warmer. This Easy No Bake Mini Eggs Cheesecake is just the beginning of all my spring recipes and I’m so excited to be sharing it with you today!
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:
- 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.
- Use whipped cream whipped to stiff peaks. Under-whipped cream can be too liquid-y and therefore prevent the cheesecake from setting.
- 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.
- 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.

Wow this looks incredibly delicious, I need a slice right now!
Ashley says
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?
Chrissie says
It’s 2 cups of whipped cream, so after it’s been whipped 🙂 Hope you like the recipe!
Jenn says
The whipped topping as a substitute for the whipping cream, would that just be cool whip?
Chrissie says
Yes, exactly!
Megan @ MegUnprocessed says

Thanks so much!
Richa Gupta says
Such a beautiful idea and perfect treat for Easter, looks yum!
dianne says
do you use the cream cheese that is in the tubs or the brick?
Chrissie says
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.
Rene says
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?
Chrissie says
You can set it right in the freezer in that case 🙂
Katie says
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 ?
Chrissie says
Yes, that’s a good idea! I hope you like it!
HEATHER LOWERY says
Has anyone froze / then thawed and what was your experience, did you notice any sepersting ?
Shanwa says
For the whipped cream, am I just whipping up cream? Any extras like sugar or vanilla in it?
Chrissie says
The whipped cream is plain whipped cream – no sugar or flavourings needed since the other ingredients sweeten and flavour the cheesecake.
Danielle says
Is it ok to keep it in the freezer overnight and then put it in the fridge on the day of ?
Chrissie says
Yes, absolutely!
Christine says
how long can you keep it in the freezer for
Chrissie says
I’d recommend no more than a few weeks in the freezer 🙂
