Step-by-Step Instructions
- Warming a sharp knife under hot water, then drying it. Carefully slice the large Easter egg in half along its seam, ensuring smooth, even cuts. Set the egg shells aside.
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs, either using a food processor or placing them in a plastic bag and smashing them with a rolling pin. Combine biscuit crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the buttery biscuit mixture evenly into the bottom of the Easter egg halves. Place the egg halves in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the double cream, mixing until thickens slightly (3-5 minutes).
- Spoon the filling into the chilled egg halves, spreading it evenly. Return to the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the filling and add decorations.
- Serve on a platter for guests to admire. Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days if not served immediately.

Notes
Quality ingredients matter. Adjust the cheesecake mixture proportionally if your Easter egg is smaller. For gluten-free, choose certified gluten-free biscuits. Chill time is essential for the cheesecake to set well.
