Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whisk the double cream until it forms soft peaks.
Set aside.
Mix the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Step 2: Set the Cheesecake
Transfer to a Tin: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a springform tin (approximately 20cm) and smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill: Cover the tin and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set firmly.
Step 3: Decorate the Cheesecake
Dust with Icing Sugar: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin and place it on a serving plate.
Lightly dust the surface with icing sugar for a soft, elegant finish.
Add Chocolate Flakes: Crumble the chocolate flakes over the top, spreading them evenly.
Scatter Mini Eggs: Arrange the mini eggs across the cheesecake, creating a nest-like effect.
Add Broken Easter Egg Pieces (Optional): Break a small hollow Easter egg into shards and place them decoratively among the mini eggs for extra indulgence.

How to Store Your Easter Themed Cake
To store your Easter-themed cheesecake, keep it refrigerated in an airtight container.
Place the cake in the refrigerator immediately after decorating and consume within 3-4 days for the best freshness.
If the cake has delicate decorations like mini eggs, cover it gently with plastic wrap or store in a cake container with a lid to prevent the toppings from being disturbed.
Always keep the cheesecake chilled, as the cream cheese and cream base can spoil if left at room temperature for extended periods.
What is Cheesecake?
A cheesecake is a rich dessert featuring a thick, soft cheese base made primarily with cream cheese. It typically sits on a crushed cookie or graham cracker crust and can be served baked or no-bake.
The dessert originated in ancient Greece and was later popularized in the United States.
Cheesecakes are creamy, sweet treats often flavored with vanilla and topped with fruits, chocolate, or other garnishes.
The New York-style cheesecake is the most famous variation, known for its dense and smooth texture.
