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.

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.
