Ingredients (serves 2 | makes 2 eggs)

  • 200g Dairy-free dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil (for a glossy finish)
  • 1/2 cup Cashews (soaked for 4+ hours or boiled for 10 min)
  • 1/2 cup Coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp Melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup
  • 1/2 block (About 150g) silken tofu
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 can Sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • Optional: Swirl in melted Biscoff, peanut butter, or berry compote - whatever you fancy! Fold in crushed cookies for texture or add on the bottom of the egg shell

Method

  1. Make the Chocolate Shell: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Pour into your Easter egg moulds, swirling to coat. Let it set in the fridge for 10-15 min, then repeat for a thicker shell. Chill until completely firm.
  2. Blend the Cheesecake Filling: Drain the pre-soaked cashews and blend with coconut cream, coconut oil, maple syrup, silken tofu, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until super smooth and creamy.
  3. Make Caramel Layer: Pour the sweetened condensed coconut milk into the pan. Set heat to low-medium and stir constantly with a silicone spatula to prevent burning. The caramel will gradually darken and thicken over 15–25 minutes. Set aside when done.
  4. Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into the chocolate shells. Add the crushed biscuit layer (if using) and drizzle in coconut caramel. Smooth the top and chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.
  5. Dust off Top: Cut out a cross with cardboard and place on top of the set cheesecake in chocolate egg. Dust over cocoa powder. Remove the cardboard cross and it should resemble a hot cross bun.

  • I am a fan of recipes that can be made and eaten for special events and all year round too. This is a recipe that could easily be made and served up at anytime of the year. I think it would be a dinner party and a crowd pleaser sweet treat.

  • This cheesecake egg sounds absolutely wonderful! Nothing one would be able to buy would come anywhere near it, and I like that two eggs are made from this recipe. No-one would feel left out or wanting more. So much nicer than store bought and yet still the Christian connection is there with the cross similar to the Hot Cross Bun. Thanks for sharing

  • I really do love this time of the year and all of the creative and delicious recipes that feature yummy and moreish chocolate. This cheesecake filled Easter egg sounds quite divine and a wonderful dessert or treat to serve up at Easter time. I am keen to try this recipe.

  • Oh my gosh this is the GREATEST! I am super keen to try this and enjoy with friends this Easter! Chocolate eggs just got a WHOLE LOT BETTER! Who would have thought to put cheesecake in it. I’ve had coco pops and milk in one or put one to melt in a coffee

  • This would be great to make for someone who is vegan but it would work out too expensive for me. I live in a small country town and most of these ingredients are not available. I’d love to try it with a traditional cheesecake recipe instead and surprise every one I know

  • This recipe has been ruined by making it vegan! It is a great idea though. We have been attempting to make our own Easter eggs with them being so expensive this year. Although, even the price of chocolate melts seems to be dear! I think this recipe would be great with a traditional cheese cake inside. I love the idea of using biscoff though and you can buy this as a spread in the supermarket now, which would probably work too.

  • Wow, this is such an impressive recipe for those who need to avoid dairy and animal products. I don’t know if it’s quite my thing, but I can really appreciate the effort and creativity here. I love this part of a holiday, seeing all the amazing dishes that people come up with

  • I love this recipe!! It’s like a hot cross bun but in a chocolate egg – so cute. Im not a big hot cross bun fan but i feel this makes a great replacement to it. Such a clever recipe that the kids would absolutely devour in no time im sure

  • Oh wow this looks super delicious but also quite involved and I’ve never seen tofu used in cheesecake before so im not 100% sure how it would taste but i would definitely be keen to give it a try. Easter is such a dangerous time of year when your trying to watch what you eat

  • Omg my mouth is watering. This dessert looks out of this world delicious. For me it looks a bit hard and would take too much time to prepare but the end product would be so worth it. I want to be someone’s taste tester who is making this. I love trying food like this. I am a choco a holic
