    Decorating Mini Easter Cheesecakes

    I decorated using Cadbury's Mini Eggs and flake to create a nest look which I think makes them look adorable and bright that fits perfectly with the Easter theme just like my mini egg cookies.

    Any decorations will work well so just switch out the Easter theme treats for your preferred topping to suit whatever occasion you are celebrating or top with fruit for a summer feel. That's the great thing about this recipe it's so adaptable.

    Are Cadbury mini eggs gluten free

    Cadburys Mini Eggs do not have any ingredients that contain gluten on the label, Meaning that Mini eggs are gluten-free. Always be sure to check the label for the most up-to-date information as ingredients may change over time. You can also check out my information on What chocolates are gluten free for more information.

    Ingredients

    • Digestives/Cookies -I used gluten-free digestive cookies but you can use your preferred cookie or gluten free graham style crackers.
    • Butter - Melt the butter in the microwave as this will make life a little easier.
    • Cream Cheese - I used Philadelphia cream cheese.
    • Powdered Sugar - Also known as Icing sugar.
    • Heavy cream - Also known as Double Cream.
    • Vanilla extract
    • Mini eggs - Adds the Easter theme to the cheesecakes.
    • Flake - I used a Cadbury flake to make a nest decoration on the top of the cheesecakes but you can use your preferred chocolate and grate to make small chocolate flakes.

    Instructions

    • Prepare a muffin tin with cupcake paper cases. Place digestives/cookies in a food bag and using a rolling pin or wooden spoon crush them until they resemble crumbs then add to a large bowl.
    • Melt the butter and add the melted butter to the crumb mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
    • Evenly distribute the cookie crumb mixture between the 12 paper cases. Using the end of the rolling pin press firmly on the crumb mixture until they feel firm and compact. Place in the refrigerator to set while you make the cream cheese filling.

    Equipment

    No special equipment is required when making this no-bake mini cheesecake bites recipe. I used 12 hole muffin tin and electric beaters for cream cheese filling. Alternatively, you could beat by hand if you don't have this piece of equipment it will just take a little extra work.

    Variations

    • Chocolate base - Use your favorite chocolate cookies to make a chocolate cookie base. Gluten free Oreos are also a great cheesecake base like I used in my Billy miners pie and Oreo tart.
    • Large Mini eggs cheesecake - If you prefer to make one large cheesecake rather than the cheesecake bites. My gluten free Vanilla cheesecake will work perfectly and decorate with the Mini eggs and grated chocolate for an Easter theme.
    • Decorating Ideas - You can decorate the mini cheesecakes to suit any theme and top them with your preferred gluten free sweets or candy.

      Hi Amanda,

      I love how your easter recipes are easy, quick and very creative.

      I was wondering do you think I can replace the biscuits with rolled oats instead? As gluten-free digestive biscuits are a bit difficult to find.

      Thank you!5 stars

        Hi Aya,

        Thank you so much. I think that a rolled oat base would work well. If you plan on giving it a try you might want to add some honey to your oat mixture to give a little sweetness to your base.
