This recipe is created in partnership with Milkybar. I only recommend products that I personally love, use and trust!

Your Ingredients List

To make these Milkybar dippy egg cheesecakes you only need 6 ingredients:

• Milkybar Easter Eggs: The edible ‘eggshells’ that hold the cheesecake filling. I used Milkybar’s Egg Hunt Pack which contains 8 small white chocolate eggs.
• Light cream cheese: It wouldn’t be a cheesecake without cream cheese! For this recipe, I used Philadelphia light, it’s the perfect base to create a smooth, creamy cheesecake texture.
• Greek yoghurt: The yoghurt adds lightness and a subtle tangy flavour, while thickening the cheesecake mixture. I used Fage 0% yoghurt which has a thick consistency.
• Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavour and sweetens the cheesecake.
• Honey: A natural sweetener to flavour the cheesecake but keep the sugar content low.
• Lemon curd: The ‘egg yolk’ topping – a tangy, zesty contrast to the filling. Either use shopbought or make your own using my easy lemon curd recipe.

How To Cut The Milkybar Chocolate Eggs

The only tricky bit in this recipe is cutting the chocolate eggs without them shattering into a million pieces. But don’t worry – follow these easy steps, and you’ll have perfectly cracked eggs in no time:

1. Heat a knife – Run a sharp knife under hot water, then dry it off.
2. Cut carefully – Press the sharp tip of the knife gently into the chocolate and work your way around the top in a zigzag pattern.
3. Take your time – Don’t rush! The eggs are very delicate, so go slowly.
4. Place in cups – Once the tops are removed, place the chocolate eggs into egg cups. Keep the tops and fill them with cheesecake too. You can position them next to the eggs on a serving plate – it looks super effective!

Quick & Easy Cheesecake Filling

This 4-ingredient cheesecake filling takes less than five minutes to make. This recipe is naturally low in sugar and fat, making it a healthier lightened up cheesecake option. However, it still tastes amazing and has a thick, fluffy and smooth texture. Simply whisk all the cheesecake ingredients (cream cheese, greek yoghurt, honey and vanilla) together until smooth and combined. That’s it! No baking, just a light and silky cheesecake filling that tastes amazing and perfectly resembles the egg white part of your dippy egg cheesecakes.

Filling the Dippy Egg Cheesecakes

Now for the fun part, filling your dippy egg cheesecakes! For this, I recommend using piping bags, it makes the process much easier and keeps everything neat, giving that perfect dippy egg cheesecake look:

1. Pipe the cheesecake filling – Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake filling, then fill each white chocolate egg right to the top.
2. Add the ‘yolk’ – Fill another piping bag with lemon curd. Pipe a little dollop of lemon curd in the centre.
3. Serve and enjoy – Pop them onto plates with a cute little spoon or some shortbread fingers for dipping.

These dippy egg cheesecakes are best eaten straight from the fridge, so they’re nice and chilled!
