Cadbury Creme Egg Cheesecake Recipes

CADBURY CREME EGG CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For a neater chocolate drizzle, use disposable piping bags for each colour of chocolate. Just snip the end off to pipe. I use these: Savoy Disposable Icing Piping Bag Use a tin with either a springform (the type where the side unclips) or a removable base. Warm a sharp, thin knife under a hot tap and then dry it. Use this to run around the outside of the cake, inside the tin, before removing. Remove the knife and wipe it as you work your way around the cake. The recipe is for a 7″ DEEP tin (not a standard sandwich cake tin, it will overflow! See the link below for the type of tin I use). You can use smaller or larger but your cheesecake will obviously be taller or shorter. 280g Digestive Chocolate Biscuits 140g Butter (Unsalted), melted 560ml Double cream, lightly whipped until it forms soft peaks 140g Icing Sugar, sifted 2 x 280g Tubs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Full fat) Juice of half a lemon 275g Mini Cadbury's Creme Eggs (about 3 small bags) 3 or 4 Full size Creme Eggs to decorate 60g Milk Chocolate 120g White Chocolate Yellow Food Colouring (see my notes above) INSTRUCTIONS Crush the biscuits until they look like lumpy sand. (I did mind in a food processor because I'm very lazy..) Mix with the melted butter and press into your 7" tin. Unwrap the mini Creme Eggs and chop them each into quarters. Combine the whipped cream, icing sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice and chopped mini Creme Eggs. Fold in gently until fully combined. Smooth on top of the biscuit base and flatten the top with the back of a spoon or a palette knife if you have one. Chill for 3 hours or even better, over night. Use my knife tip (above) to remove the cheesecake from the tin. Melt your milk chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water and allow to cool very slightly before drizzling over the cake in zigzags. Melt your white chocolate in the same way, drizzle half of it onto the cheesecake. Colour the white chocolate that is left with a tiny amount of food colour. Add more until you reach a yellow you're happy with, then drizzle this over too. (You can prep all of the chocolates, pop them into piping bags and drizzle alternately if you prefer.) Cut your large Creme Eggs in half and use to decorate the top of the cheesecake.
