To make the Crust

Mix together graham crumbs, melted butter, and sugar to make a crumbly mixture. Distribute evenly between 12 (125ml) glass jars and level to make an even crust. Refrigerate while making the filling.

To make the Filling

To a large bowl, add cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric handheld mixer on high speed until creamy. Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gently fold the coarsely crushed mini eggs until just distributed throughout the filling.

Scoop the filling evenly into the jars on top of the prepared crust and smooth the tops with a small spoon. Refrigerate while making the ganache.

To make the Ganache

Heat ⅓ cup of heavy whipping cream in the microwave in 30-second increments until scalding. Pour over the chopped milk chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes before whisking until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes before distributing between all 12 cheesecakes on top of the cheesecake layer.

Refrigerate at least 1-2 hours or until ready to serve. Before serving, top with some whipped cream and a few extra mini eggs, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Crush Mini Eggs Strategically 🥚
Reserve some whole mini eggs for topping, but crush others into varying sizes for a more interesting texture and visual appeal in your cheesecake layers.
Graham Cracker Crust Pro Tip 🍪
For a crispier crust, toast the graham cracker crumbs in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing with melted butter to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent sogginess.
Cream Cheese Temperature Matters 🧀
Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling with perfect consistency.
Jar Layering Technique 🔬
Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with the corner cut off to create clean, precise layers in your mason jars, preventing messy and uneven filling.
Chill for Maximum Set ❄️
Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely and develop a richer, more developed flavor.
