Creamy no-bake Mini Egg Cheesecake made with a chocolate cookie crust, whipped cream cheese filling, and crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs. A simple freezer dessert perfect for spring or Easter.
Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Add melted butter and combine.
Press the cookie crumbs into the cake pan, using a spoon or the flat bottom of a measuring cup to smooth and pack down evenly.
Chill in the freezer.
For the Filling:
Whip the cream with the brown sugar and vanilla until it reaches stiff peaks. You can do this by hand with a whisk or using a hand or stand mixer.
Whip the cream cheese until smooth.
Slowly add the whipped cream to the cream cheese, being gentle and being careful not to lose too much air so the dessert stays light and smooth. Mix in the crushed mini eggs by folding in gently with a spatula.
Pour the mixture into the pan on top of the cookie crust, spread it out, and flatten the top.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 5-6 hours, or overnight. (I prefer to leave it overnight to make sure it sets well and isn't too soft.)
To Serve:
I like to garnish with a giant dollop of whipped cream in the center and more crushed mini eggs.
Let the cake sit for 10 minutes before cutting to make it easier to slice. Use a hot knife to cut it. (Run the knife under hot water and then carefully wipe with a paper towel before each cut.)
