Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup assorted Easter egg candies, chopped
- Additional Easter egg candies for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Add Candies: Fold in the chopped Easter egg candies, reserving some for topping. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, leave it overnight.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Top with additional Easter egg candies before slicing and serving.
