What you need

tbsp unsalted butter

oz chocolate egg
oz block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese

cup powdered sugar

tbsp vanilla extract

cup heavy cream

cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
0 Graham Cracker Crust: In a food processor, add the graham crackers and pulse to fine crumbs. Add in the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is fully combined. 1 Portion the crumbs into two 12-count mini cheesecake pans, adding about 1 Tablespoon of the crust mixture to each tin. Press firmly to compact it into the bottom. Place the pans in the fridge to chill while you make the cheesecake filling. 2 Cheesecake Filling: Crush the chocolate mini eggs with the back of a large knife and roughly chop them. 3 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until well combined and smooth. Mix in the vanilla. 4 Scrape the bowl well and mix again until no lumps remain. With the mixer on low speed, slowly stream in the heavy cream. Once the cream is incorporated, turn the mixer to high speed and whip until the mixture is thick and looks like stiff peaks, about 20-30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the crushed chocolate eggs. 5 Use a large piping bag to fill the prepared pans to the top with the cheesecake filling. Lightly smooth the tops of the cheesecakes with a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. 6 Once the cheesecakes are set, remove them from the tins by gently pushing the cheesecakes up and out from the bottom, then remove the metal base. If you have trouble getting the cheesecakes out, place them in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes. Rub a wet, warm towel around the exterior sides of each cheesecake tin then push the cheesecake up and out. 7 Chocolate Ganache: Combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a heat-safe dish and warm in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between until melted. Allow the ganache to firm up at room temperature until firm enough to pipe. Fill a piping bag fitted with a French-style piping tip with the slightly firm ganache. Pipe a small rosette of ganache onto each cheesecake. 8 Top each cheesecake with more chocolate mini eggs. Serve and enjoy!View original recipe
