Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs substitute with digestive biscuits for a similar texture
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted can use vegan butter for a dairy-free alternative
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened make sure it's at room temperature to avoid lumps
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar can be swapped with granulated sugar alternatives for a healthier version
  • 3 large eggs ensure they are at room temperature for even mixing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract consider using vanilla bean paste for a more robust taste
  • 1 cup mini chocolate eggs, chopped substitute with any candy-coated chocolate eggs if desired

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until resembling wet sand. Firmly press 1 tablespoon into each muffin cup.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and then mix in vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in 3/4 cup of chopped mini chocolate eggs into the cheesecake batter carefully.
  5. Fill each muffin liner with the batter about 3/4 full and bake for 20-25 minutes. The edges should be set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  6. Allow cheesecakes to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, top each cheesecake with remaining chopped mini eggs for decoration.
