These creamy mini Cadbury Egg cheesecakes are a quick and easy springtime treat featuring a smooth cream cheese filling topped with colorful mini Cadbury eggs, perfect for Easter or any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup (135g) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 bag (4.5 oz / 128g) mini Cadbury eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar for the crust. Stir until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  3. Press about 1 teaspoon of the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes. Scrape down the sides occasionally.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and fold in gently to prevent cracking.
  7. Spoon the filling evenly over each crust, filling about 3/4 full.
  8. Gently press 3–4 mini Cadbury eggs into the top of each cheesecake.
  9. Bake on the middle rack for 18–22 minutes, until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly.
  10. Cool cheesecakes in the tin for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
  11. Carefully peel away liners and serve chilled.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Do not overmix after adding eggs to prevent cracks. A water bath can help prevent cracking but is optional. Chill cheesecakes overnight for best texture and flavor. Lightly grease liners for easier removal. For gluten-free, substitute graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs. For dairy-free, use non-dairy cream cheese and coconut cream with flaxseed eggs.
