Ingredients

  • 12 small hollow Easter eggs
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips melted (or ¼ cup broken egg pieces)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Yellow/orange food coloring

Instructions

  • Prepare eggs for filling by heating a sharp knife under hot water and carefully slicing the tops off the easter eggs
  • Use the melted chocolate as a “glue” to stick the bottom of the egg to the top of the egg like a stand
  • Once eggs are prepared, set aside and prepare filling
  • In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy,
  • Add the heavy cream and beat slowly until thickened (do not over mix!)
  • Place ⅔ of the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag
  • To the remaining cheesecake mixture, add a small amount of food coloring until desired “yolk” color is achieved and add to a second piping bag
  • Divide the mixture between the prepared eggs by using first the white cheesecake and filling the egg ¾ of the way, then inserting the yellow cheesecake piping bag into the center and filling until the egg is filled
  • Place into fridge to chill for at least, one hour then serve

Notes

  • This will be much easier to make if the cream cheese is room temperature when you whip it. It will be much more malleable and easier to incorporate with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overwhip once you add the whipped cream to the mixture.
  • If you don't let them hang out in the fridge first, the cheesecake won't have set and the texture will be off.
