No Bake Mini Creme Egg Cheesecake Recipe – a light, creamy no-bake Easter dessert that’s easy to make and looks delightful on any celebration table.
Cheesecake is one of those desserts that always impresses. This recipe is no-bake, quick to assemble, light in texture and full of creamy flavour — the perfect bite-sized treat for Easter.
My full-size Creme Egg Cheesecake and Mini Egg Cheesecake recipes have been favourites on the blog for years. For this post I pared the idea down to smaller portions: No Bake Mini Creme Egg Cheesecakes made in a muffin tin. They’re simple to prepare: crush the biscuit base, whip the cream, fold in the cream cheese and chopped Creme Eggs, chill, then decorate.
I love seeing readers recreate my recipes, and these little cheesecakes are designed to be fuss-free while still looking special on the table.
Tips for making the No Bake Mini Creme Egg Cheesecakes:
- Use a non-stick 12-hole muffin tin so the cheesecakes hold their shape and pop out easily.
- Beat the cream until very stiff; this helps the filling keep its structure.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and stability.
- For neat decoration, pipe the melted chocolate and whipped cream using disposable piping bags and a large star nozzle.
- If you want a different flavour, swap the Creme Eggs for another chocolate of equal weight.
Can you freeze mini cheesecakes?
Yes. Freezing makes the cheesecakes easier to remove from the muffin tin and simpler to transport. Freeze them undecorated, then decorate from frozen. Do not refreeze after they’ve been thawed.
How do you know when a mini cheesecake is set?
These are no-bake, so they won’t be cooked. Gently press the top to ensure the filling feels firm and holds its shape before turning out of the muffin tin.
How do you get mini cheesecakes out of a muffin pan?
Freezing helps a lot. Run a small sharp knife carefully around the edge, then ease the cheesecake up and out. If needed, warm the back of the pan very briefly under hot water to loosen the base, but be cautious — too much heat will melt the cheesecakes.

How to make the No Bake Mini Creme Egg Cheesecake:
No Bake Mini Creme Egg Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 150 g (5 oz) Digestive biscuits
- 75 g (3 oz) Unsalted butter
- 300 ml (1.25 cups) Double cream
- 50 g (2 oz) Icing sugar
- 280 g (10 oz) Full fat cream cheese
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 125 g (4.4 oz) Creme Eggs, about 4 large, chopped into small pieces
To decorate
- 300 ml (1.25 cups) Double cream
- 200 g (7 oz) Milk chocolate, melted
- 6 Creme Eggs, halved
Instructions
- Crush the digestive biscuits into very fine crumbs. Mix with the melted butter and press into the base of the holes in a 12-hole muffin tin. Chill in the fridge to set.
- Beat the double cream until very stiff. Add the icing sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice and the chopped Creme Eggs. Mix gently until smooth and well combined.
- Fill each biscuit base with the cheesecake mixture and smooth the tops using a palette knife for a neat finish.
- Chill in the freezer for 1 hour or in the fridge for 3 hours so the cheesecakes set.
- When set, run a knife carefully around the edge and gently pop them out onto a plate. Return to the fridge or freezer until ready to decorate.
- Melt the milk chocolate over a pan of simmering water and allow it to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
- Beat the extra double cream until stiff for piping. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
- Put the cooled melted chocolate into a piping bag, drizzle over each cheesecake, pipe swirls of cream, and top with half a Creme Egg.
