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.

Looks amazing! Do you think I could use this recipe to make miniature sized cheesecakes?
Thanks!
Sure, you could, but since i haven’t tried it myself i can’t recommend the exact adjustments that would need to be made to this recipe. Hope it works out well for you! Happy baking!
Just what I wanted an easy recipe HAPPY Easter when it comes x
We’re so happy you enjoy our recipe! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! Happy Easter 💛
Great Easter dessert idea! I love them!
Thanks Krista!
Such a great Easter dessert with a surprise in every bite! Looks so yummy!
Thanks so much!
This looks really good! I would love to try it for Easter!
Thanks! I hope you give it a try!
I love how festive for Easter this is! YUM!
Thanks so much! I hope you give it a try!
Wow this looks incredibly delicious, I need a slice right now!
Thanks so much!
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?
It’s 2 cups of whipped cream, so after it’s been whipped 🙂 Hope you like the recipe!
The whipped topping as a substitute for the whipping cream, would that just be cool whip?
Yes, exactly!
These are adorable! Fun for Easter!
Thanks so much!
Such a beautiful idea and perfect treat for Easter, looks yum!
Thanks! 🙂
do you use the cream cheese that is in the tubs or the brick?
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?
You can set it right in the freezer in that case 🙂
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 ?
Yes, that’s a good idea! I hope you like it!
Has anyone froze / then thawed and what was your experience, did you notice any sepersting ?
For the whipped cream, am I just whipping up cream? Any extras like sugar or vanilla in it?
The whipped cream is plain whipped cream – no sugar or flavourings needed since the other ingredients sweeten and flavour the cheesecake.
Is it ok to keep it in the freezer overnight and then put it in the fridge on the day of ?
Yes, absolutely!
how long can you keep it in the freezer for
I’d recommend no more than a few weeks in the freezer 🙂
Absolutely delicious and so easy!!! Thanks so much for this recipe! Both my fiance and I love mini eggs and cheesecake so this was a match made in heaven!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! 🙂
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.
250 grams x 2 is only 500 grams, so you’ll have to add another 100 grams from another package.
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
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.
Is it 2 cups of mini eggs after crushed? Or before?
2 cups before crushed 🙂
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!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much!
I used the light cream cheese and it worked out perfect.
Thanks so much for letting us know! Glad it came out perfectly!!
wow, amazing!! I just loved it so much… you decorate it very beautifully… I don’t know i will make it like this but for sure I will definitely try to do it… thanks for sharing!!
You’re welcome Ryan! Hope it turns out well🙂
HI, better late then never ! I made this for Easter & it turned out beautiful, tasted wonderful & looked great.
It will be a regular for Easter from now on ! Wish I could send you a picture, I have made many cheesecakes over the year’s but this one is a stunner ……. really happy.
Just an FYI don’t use the “Shimmers” the outside coating liquefies & bleeds, not a good look.
Thank you so much Susie! Really glad you like the recipe!😊
I just had a craving for mini eggs cheesecake, but didn’t know if a recipe existed. So happy I found this!
Hope you love it! 🙂
Could I use a 7” spring form pan?
You could try, but your cheesecake will be very tall and will need more time to set. You might also have a little too much cheesecake filling, as this recipe was originally developed for a 9 inch. However, too much cheesecake filling isn’t actually a problem ☺️ You can spoon it in some cups on top of some crushed graham crackers for a sneak peek of what’s waiting in the fridge. Enjoy ☺️
Hi Chrissie – We don’t have graham crackers here in Ireland so could I substitute with ginger snaps or just plain digestives? I like my bases to be a bit crunchy! Thank you.
Hello Laura, yes, you can absolutely substitute graham crackers with either one of them. Enjoy ☺️
Made this for Easter Sunday. Was F A B U L O U S !!!!
Hello
I was planning on making this recipe this weekend, but thinking I would do a chocolate Oreo crumb base instead.
Is it the same quantity of butter I should add.
Thank you
Barbara
Yes!
Could I use coconut whip cream ?
I’ve never tried this, so I can’t comment on exactly how that would work. It would likely change the texture of the end result (because of different fat and water content), so I wouldn’t recommend it.
What if we don’t have full fat cream cheese in canada ? We just have regular Philadelphia cream cheese, will it still turn out ?
Yes, the classic Philadelphia will work out perfectly! Let us know how it turns out ☺️
