No-bake creamy cheesecake layered with cookies and surprise chocolate eggs in individual jars

# Ingredient List:

→ Cookie Crust

01 - 1 cup digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Layer

03 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar

# How to Make:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine crushed biscuits with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
02 - Spoon 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each jar and gently press down to form a crust.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
04 - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
05 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
06 - Spoon a layer of cheesecake mixture over the cookie crust in each jar, filling about halfway.
07 - Nestle 2-3 mini Easter eggs into the cheesecake layer of each jar.
08 - Add another layer of cheesecake mixture to cover the eggs, smoothing the tops.
09 - Chill the jars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to set.
10 - Before serving, top each jar with a swirl of whipped cream, extra Easter eggs, and sprinkles.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Each jar becomes a miniature treasure hunt, revealing hidden chocolate eggs as you dig through the layers
  • No baking required and they come together in under thirty minutes, leaving you free for the real celebration
02 -
  • Room temperature cream cheese is non negotiable, cold cream cheese creates tiny lumps that no amount of mixing can fix
  • Press your crust layers down firmly with the back of a spoon, loose crumbs create a muddy texture when spooned through the creamy layers
03 -
  • Whip your heavy cream in a chilled metal bowl for the most stable peaks that won't deflate when folded
  • Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the final cheesecake layer for a clean, professional look
