Ingredients
Method
1. Build the Base
Grab a medium bowl and stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until everything is evenly moistened and crumbly. Line a muffin pan with paper liners, then press 1–2 tablespoons of the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner. Pop the pan into the fridge to set while you work on the filling.
2. Whip Up the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until silky smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until thick and fluffy with stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, keeping it light and airy. Gently stir in the crushed mini eggs.
3. Assemble
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over each chilled crust, filling the liners nearly to the top. Smooth the surface and finish with an extra sprinkle of crushed mini eggs for a festive look.
4. Chill to Set
Place the pan back in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecakes are firm and set.
5. Enjoy
Once chilled, remove from the liners and serve straight from the fridge.
