‘What could be better than an Easter egg?’, I hear you ask.
Well, how about an Easter egg stuffed with cheesecake?! Yep, you read that correctly.
Cheesecake stuffed Easter egg shells are cropping up all over social media of late, and they’re the perfect way to get in the mood for the holiday (even if there is still a month to go!).
A cheesecake stuffed Easter egg is… well, basically as it sounds. It’s a chocolate shell with a no-bake cheesecake set inside of it. Pretty genius, right?

The best thing about this trend is you can get as creative as you like. Opt for whatever Easter egg shell your heart desires – whether you’re partial to Cadbury’s, Nestlé or Lindt – then, you can stuff it with your most adored no-bake cheesecake recipe.
After that you can decorate it with mini eggs, chocolate sprinkles or pretty much anything you have in the cupboard.
The combinations are endless, and the best part is the cheesecake stuffed Easter egg is insanely easy to make, too.
