Advice: boys, stay out of my yard, social distancing is key! 🔑
So I got 100% of votes in the last hour to say you wanted to learn how to make my Mini Egg Cheescake*. There were 15 votes, okay! But that is still 100% of the votes so let’s crack on.
Graeme is actually allergic to eggs so this is a quick, egg free, bake free recipe. Honestly, the setting was the longest part!
*Disclaimer: I loosely based this on a recipe from Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen! (Check her out, she is awesome!!)
Ingredients:
- 200g digestives (half plain and half milk chocolate) 🍪
- 80g butter
- Half an Easter Egg
- 80g bag of Mini Eggs (broken up a bit in a bowl using a rolling pin or with pestle and mortar)
- 80g Mini Eggs (in tact)
- 230g Philadelphia Lightest
- 100g Caster Sugar
- 200ml double cream
- Caramel Syrup (A decent splash)
- 180g Milky Buttons
Method:
- Line your cake tin with parchment paper or butter as I had no paper and didn’t class it as an essential to go out for
- Crush your biscuits (if you are lazy like me then I broke them and popped them in the blender on the thickest setting)
- Melt butter
- Mix butter with biscuits and fill the bottom of the tray with it. Use a spoon to flatten/ even out
- Put tin in the fridge for base to set
- Whisk cream until it has stiff peaks
- Melt Buttons
- Add sugar, caramel syrup and cooled melted buttons,whisk
- Gently mix in broken Mini Eggs
- Add to tray with base, use a spoon to even, smooth and flatten
- Leave to set for 2 hours
- Take out and add your Easter Egg and whole Mini Eggs (however you want it to look but my picture is below)
My advice is to enjoy a slice with your hot beverage of choice ☕️ but this really is up to you. Enjoy!
Also, a gentle reminder, you are under no obligation to be creative, to turn into a baker, to turn into Mrs Hinch, etc. Surviving right now is key. So is staying safe and staying at home. 🏡
I am only personally being productive to stop myself going stir crazy and to hopefully make people/ one person smile! 🥰
