Ingredients
Chocolate Cheesecake Layer
- 200 g Mini Eggs (crushed)
- 600 g Mascarpone
- 2 1/2 tbsp Cocoa powder (sieved)
- 90 g Icing sugar (sieved)
- 2 tbsp Milk
Whipped Cream Topping
- 300 ml Double cream
- 1 tbsp Icing sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make Chocolate Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone, 90 g of sieved icing sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly blended.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add the milk to the mascarpone mixture to loosen it. Depending on your mascarpone brand, use just enough milk to achieve a creamy, spreadable consistency.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the double cream with 1 tbsp icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light, fluffy texture.
- Layer Cheesecake Base: Spoon some of the chocolate cheesecake mixture into the bottom of serving glasses (250 ml capacity recommended), creating an even base layer.
- Add Cream and Mini Eggs: Top the cheesecake layer with a portion of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Mini Eggs to add crunch and sweetness.
- Add Second Cheesecake Layer: Divide the remaining chocolate cheesecake mixture evenly between the glasses, layering it over the cream and Mini Eggs.
- Final Topping: Finish with the remaining whipped cream on top, then generously sprinkle crushed Mini Eggs to garnish.
- Serve or Chill: Serve immediately for best texture, or refrigerate and consume within 2 to 3 days for a chilled dessert experience.
Notes
- The amount of milk may vary depending on the mascarpone’s consistency; add slowly to avoid making the mixture too runny.
- Use fresh double cream for best whipping results and a rich texture.
- These dessert pots are best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Use serving glasses with approximately 250 ml capacity to get four evenly portioned servings.
- Crushed Mini Eggs add texture but you can substitute with other chocolate candies if desired.
