No-Bake Mini Egg Cheesecake Cups (5 Ingredients) - Creamy, Fun, and Foolproof

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Cream cheese (full-fat, brick style)
  • Heavy cream (also labeled whipping cream)
  • Powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
  • Digestive biscuits or graham crackers (for the crust)
  • Mini chocolate eggs (crushed and whole for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the cups: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or use small dessert cups. This keeps the crust neat and makes serving easy.
  • Make the crust: Crush 8–10 digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Stir in 3–4 tablespoons melted butter until the mixture feels like damp sand and holds when pressed.
  • Press the base: Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of crumbs into each cup. Press down firmly with the bottom of a small glass or spoon to create a compact layer. Chill while you make the filling.
  • Beat the cream cheese: In a bowl, beat 16 ounces (450 g) of softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Add 1/3–1/2 cup powdered sugar and beat again until creamy.
  • Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip 3/4 cup heavy cream to soft-medium peaks. Don’t overwhip—peaks should hold but still look glossy.
  • Fold and flavor: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Stir in a handful of crushed mini eggs for texture and color.
  • Fill the cups: Divide the filling evenly over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spoon. Add extra crushed or whole mini eggs on top.
  • Chill to set: Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until firm. For the cleanest shape, chill 4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Peel off the liners (if using) and enjoy cold. Add a few fresh mini eggs right before serving for extra crunch.
