Easter Cadbury Mini Cheesecakes (Printable)

Creamy individual cheesecakes with chocolate crust, topped with whipped cream and colorful Cadbury Mini Eggs. An ideal spring dessert.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 10 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (approximately 5.25 ounces)
02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - ⅓ cup granulated sugar
05 - 1 large egg
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - ¼ cup sour cream

→ Topping

08 - ½ cup heavy cream, cold
09 - 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
10 - ½ cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped or whole
11 - Additional Mini Eggs and pastel sprinkles for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
02 - Combine crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened. Divide the mixture among liners (about 1 tablespoon per cup) and press firmly to form bases.
03 - Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Beat until just combined—avoid overmixing.
04 - Spoon cheesecake filling evenly over each crust (about 2 tablespoons per cup), smoothing the tops.
05 - Bake for 16–18 minutes, until centers are just set (slight jiggle is acceptable).
06 - Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 30 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
07 - Whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
08 - Pipe or dollop whipped cream onto each cheesecake. Garnish with chopped or whole Mini Eggs and optional pastel sprinkles. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look impressive but come together in under 30 minutes of active work
  • The individual portions mean everyone gets their own perfect little cake
  • You can make them a day ahead and pull them out when guests arrive
02 -
  • Overmixing the filling once the egg is added can cause cracks and a weird texture
  • The centers should still jiggle slightly when you take them out because they continue cooking as they cool
  • Room temperature ingredients make all the difference between silky smooth and grainy cheesecake
03 -
  • A quick spray of cooking oil in your measuring spoon helps the sour cream slide right out
  • If you can't find Mini Eggs any pastel candy eggs work beautifully as a substitute
