Product Information

Pour the milk and cream into a pan, add the crushed mini eggs and stir with a whisk over medium heat. After 8 minutes or so the mini eggs should be dissolved. Once the liquid boils, take immediately off of the heat. Remove dough from bowl and break off about 2 teaspoon-sized sections. Roll dough in your hand to make a ball, then slightly flatten it. Press one end wider and pinch the other end to make it more narrow for Easter eggs. Put patties down on a pan lined with wax or parchment paper. Once all patties are made, place pan in the freezer for 20 minutes. It's really important to use a loose bottom tin, and ideally a springform tin as being able to release the sides makes it even easier to get the cheesecake out.

Make this cheesecake the night before so you can leave it in the fridge overnight to firm up. Will I need any special equipment for this mint cheesecake? Break the mini eggs up (either in a pestle and mortar or by putting in a bag and hitting with a heavy object like a rolling pin). ADDITIONAL NOTES: Add 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, then mix until well combined. Taste dough. If you’d like them to be stronger, add an additional 1/2 to 1 teaspoon extract. You can also use 2 drops of peppermint essential oil instead or even 2 teaspoons mint extract for a more subtle mint flavor. Think Andes Mints as opposed to Starlight mints! Yum. The biscuit base is a doddle, and fun for the kids if you're using the "bash the biscuits with a rolling pin" method rather than a food processor. Combine the biscuit crumbs with melted butter and sugar, mix well and press into your cake tin. Do keep in mind that adding more chocolate will alter the nutritional content of each slice. How should I store this mint cheesecake?Add the cooled melted white chocolate. If you add the white chocolate while it's still hot, it will melt your filling and it won't set as well as it should. Make this non-alcoholic by serving it without the gin or adding a non-alcoholic distilled spirit (Pearson’s Botanicals is a good one) 2) Orange & Salted Caramel Liqueur Sometimes, due to the shape of the bowl, there is a little bit of mixture at the bottom that doesn't mix in properly so give it one last stir with a spatula to make sure everything is combined before you fold in the chocolate pieces and food colouring by hand. Can I make this mint cheesecake with a food processor?

There is a full list of suggested equipment on the recipe card below. Is this mint cheesecake suitable for vegetarians? You can of course divide the ingredients into small ramekins or a muffin tray with loose bottoms. This recipe could make 12 or more individual cheesecakes, depending on the size of the dishes or tray you are using. Can I make this cheesecake in a different tin/tray? Peppermint has been a popular confectionary flavour for a long time, working so well with sugar to give a really fresh flavour. And its combination with chocolate is another winner. Run a knife under the hot tap, dry it off and run it around the edge of the tin to release the cheesecake. You can then release the springform clip, if you're using a springform tin. These consisted of wafer, fondant, rice crispy, caramel and milk chocolate, a combination which will likely never be repeated. They were sadly discontinued in 1989, but not before they made a lasting impression on chocolate lovers.After serving, you might only have a few slices left so transfer them into a suitably sized sealed container. Make sure to keep this cheesecake in the fridge - it needs to be kept chilled as it contains a lot of fresh dairy products. How long does this mint cheesecake keep?

Obviously whilst the cheesecake is setting it will still be in the tin, so you can cover the top with food wrap and keep it in the fridge.

Why do we eat chocolate eggs at Easter?

Melting chocolate in the microwave is easy if you go slowly. Always use a glass or ceramic bowl and chocolate that’s not old. To melt 1 cup of chocolate chips I’d begin with 1 minute in the microwave. After the 1 minute, let chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes. Then, gently stir and see if chocolate begins to melt smooth. If it’s still really solid, add 20 seconds in the microwave, then let it sit again. You could stay on the retro ice cream theme and create different ones using different flavour extracts - strawberry would be lovely. Add hundreds and thousands or other sprinkles to decorate.
