A quick and easy no-bake cheesecake recipe featuring creamy layers with chunks of Cadbury eggs, served in individual jars for a festive spring dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8–10 Cadbury mini eggs, roughly chopped
  • Optional: pinch of salt for the base
  • Optional: gluten-free chocolate wafers or almond flour mixed with cocoa powder for gluten-free base

Instructions

  1. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies until you have about 1 ½ cups (150g) of crumbs with some small chunks for texture.
  2. Mix the cookie crumbs with 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter until evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed, about 5 minutes.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons (30g) of the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom of each jar and press down firmly to create a compact base. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 16 oz (450g) softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes on high speed.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
  7. Roughly chop 8-10 Cadbury mini eggs into small chunks.
  8. Layer the cheesecake filling over the cookie base in each jar, then sprinkle some chopped Cadbury egg pieces on top. Repeat layering until jars are filled, ending with a few egg pieces as garnish.
  9. Refrigerate the jars for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to firm up and flavors to meld.
  10. Before serving, optionally garnish with extra Cadbury egg pieces or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill mixing bowl and beaters for better whipped cream. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Press cookie crust firmly in jars. Chill cheesecake jars overnight for best texture and flavor. Chop Cadbury eggs with a serrated knife to avoid squishing caramel. Can substitute caramel-filled chocolates if Cadbury eggs are unavailable. For gluten-free, swap cookie base with gluten-free wafers or almond flour mixture.
