Ingredients

Scale

2 hollow chocolate eggs (3.5 oz each)
3/4 cup crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
2 tbsp melted butter
1 1/2 cups cream cheese (full fat)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

Carefully unwrap the chocolate eggs and score around the seam with a sharp knife to separate them into halves.
In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture into each chocolate egg shell evenly and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon the cheesecake filling into each egg shell and smooth out the tops.
Decorate with melted chocolate drizzle, reserved cookie crumbs, and mini chocolate eggs before refrigerating for at least two hours to set.
