My boys and I are currently on holidays down in Victoria with our family, so in the lead up to our trip I was madly baking to create a few recipes for the blog whilst we are away. The day before our trip, I had an extra early start to get this Cadbury Creme Egg Cheesecake into the fridge before the boys woke up – because let’s be honest, as soon as they saw chocolate in my mixing bowl they would want to lick the spoon and even in our chocolate filled house 7am is waaaay too early!
It took every ounce of my self control not to have a sneaky taste of this cheesecake while I was making it, unfortunately the same can’t be said once this cheesecake had set.
Even though I’m not a huge fan of Cadbury Creme Eggs (I’m a caramel and malteser egg kind of girl), I couldn’t help myself but sit down and sneak a small piece of this cheesecake when I should have been packing instead!

Notes
The above mixing times may vary depending on the softness of your cream cheese. I suggest using cream cheese which is at room temperature.
This cheesecake is quite soft as it doesn’t contain gelatine. If your cheesecake is too soft or runny when you cut it – pop it back in the fridge to let it set for a bit longer.

What I love about this is it’s a fantastic chocolate based cheesecake. You could use any chocolate as the highlights, I’m going to make this using Turkish Delight eggs instead, because they’re my favourite! 🙂

Ooh that sounds like a fabulous idea! It’s such a versatile recipe, I’ve made it using Maltesers, Mars Bars and am thinking Caramel Eggs might be a good idea too! I’d love to hear how you go!
