Mini Egg Easter Cheesecake Recipe

There is one dessert that I love to make a cheesecake and this Mini Egg Easter Cheesecake is fantastic. I’ve made it extra spring-like with a little food coloring however you can easily leave that out and not affect the taste at all. Mini eggs are one of my favorite treats at Easter and we have some in the cupboard from when they first appear in the stores each year. This mini egg cheesecake is easy to make and perfect for Easter brunch with the family.

As the weather is warming up and spring is in the air cheesecakes are the perfect dessert – they are light and tasty and this one has the added extras of some Cadbury Mini Eggs dotted all over the top making it a delicious dessert that the kids love as well.
