When it comes to Creme Eggs, you’re on 1 of 2 teams…

Team 1: I LOVE Cadbury Creme Eggs so much. I’m completely addicted. They’re the best thing in the entire universe.

Team 2: I hate Cadbury Creme Eggs and if you bring them anywhere near me I will vomit.

I’m sure it will come as no surprise that I am firmly on Team 1!

I love eating them on their own BUT I love them even more when they’re added to a delicious Easter dessert – just like my Creme Egg Brownies, 3 Ingredient Creme Egg Fudge, Easter Rocky Road, or of course, this AMAZING oozy, gooey, no-bake cheesecake!

For The Biscuit Base

  • Butter – Binds the cookie crumbs together to form a sturdy base. The amount needed may vary depending on the type of cookies used.
  • Cookies – Any plain sweet biscuits work, such as Arnott’s Nice biscuits, graham crackers or digestive biscuits.

For the Filling:

  • Cream – Use thickened cream, double cream or heavy cream suitable for whipping to help stabilize the filling.
  • Chocolate – White chocolate is recommended, but milk or dark chocolate can be used.
  • Cream Cheese – Full-fat block cream cheese works best for a firm set. Avoid light or spreadable versions.
  • Gelatine – Helps the cheesecake hold its shape, especially when served at room temperature.
  • Vanilla Extract – Adds flavor.
  • Sugar – Use caster (superfine) sugar for easy dissolving.
  • Creme eggs – I use large Cadbury Creme Eggs in this recipe. However, you can substitute with mini creme eggs if you prefer.

Equipment Required

  • Springform Tin (20cm or 23cm) – Ensures easy removal of the cheesecake.
  • Baking Paper or Parchment Paper – For lining the tin.
  • Food Processor or Rolling Pin – For crushing the biscuits into fine crumbs.
  • Large Mixing Bowl – For preparing the base and filling.
  • Electric Mixer, Stand Mixer or Thermomix – To beat the cream cheese and whip the cream.
  • Spatula – For folding and smoothing the mixture.
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons – For accurate ingredient measurements.
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl – For melting the chocolate.
  • Small Heatproof Bowl & Spoon – To dissolve the gelatine.
  • Knife – For cutting the Cadbury Creme Eggs.
  • Refrigerator – To chill and set the cheesecake.

Step By Step Instructions

This Cadbury Creme Egg Cheesecake has a super simple cookie crumb base, topped with a white chocolate cheesecake filling, PLUS 6 full-sized Cadbury Creme Eggs inside.… and even more to decorate!!!

Let’s start the Easter baking…

Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

Step 1 – Make The Base

Crush the cookies until only fine crumbs remain. Stir through the melted butter until all of the crumbs are very well coated.

Step 2 – Whip Cream

Beat the cream until stiff peaks form. You can use hand-held beaters, a stand-mixer or a Thermomix for this step.

Step 3 – Melt Chocolate

Heat the chocolate until just melted. If using a microwave, ensure it’s set to 50% power so as to not overcook the chocolate.

Allow the chocolate to cool to room temperature before adding to the mixture.

See my tips for melting chocolate in the microwave here.

Step 4 – Dissolve Gelatine

To dissolve the gelatine, place 1 tablespoon of gelatine powder into a small bowl filled with ⅓ cup lukewarm water.
Place that small bowl into a large bowl and fill the larger bowl with boiling water (do not allow the boiling water to enter the smaller bowl).
Allow the boiling water to slowly heat the smaller bowl and stir occasionally to dissolve the gelatine (this will take a couple of minutes). 

Step 5 – Beat

Note: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before beating. Doing so will mean that your cheesecake has NO lumps!

Expert Tips

Here’s my top tips for making the perfect Cadbury Creme Egg Cheesecake!

  • Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese – A block of full-fat cream cheese (not spreadable or light versions) is essential for a firm and creamy cheesecake.
  • Chill for Best Results – Allow the cheesecake to set in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, for the best texture and clean slices.
  • Dissolve Gelatine Properly – Sprinkle the gelatine over boiling water and stir until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly before adding to the mixture to prevent lumps.
  • Melt Chocolate Gently – Use short bursts in the microwave (50% power) or a double boiler to melt the white chocolate without burning it. Let it cool slightly before mixing it into the filling.
  • Firmly Press the Base – Ensure the biscuit base is tightly packed into the tin to prevent crumbling when slicing. Using the back of a spoon helps to press it down evenly.
  • Cut Creme Eggs with a Warm Knife – Warm a sharp knife under hot water and dry it before slicing Creme Eggs to get clean cuts without cracking.
  • Whip the Cream to Soft Peaks – Overwhipping can make the filling too stiff, while underwhipping may cause it to be too soft. Look for a light, fluffy consistency before folding it in.
  • Decorate Just Before Serving – Adding Creme Eggs and drizzles too early can cause them to sink or lose their shape. For the best presentation, decorate just before serving.
  • Storing – Chill the cheesecake overnight (or for a minimum of 6 hours) and then continue to store it in the fridge until needed. Consume within 3 days.
  • Freezing – You can freeze the un-decorated cheesecake as a whole or in individual portions. Wrap in a layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of foil and freeze for up to 1 month.
    To defrost, place the cheesecake into the fridge overnight.
