Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheesecake Filled Easter Eggs
- Using a warm serrated knife, carefully slice the tops off the medium hollow Easter eggs to create a clean edge. Place the chocolate eggs in the refrigerator to chill.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3–4 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the thickened cream until it forms stiff peaks, about 2–3 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the prepared chocolate shells, leaving a little space at the top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Prepare the yolk mixture by straining the passionfruit pulp into a saucepan. Add the apricot jam and unsalted butter, heating over medium-low until smooth, about 4–5 minutes. Cool and refrigerate.
- Once the cheesecake filling has set, scoop a small hole into each egg and fill with the cooled passionfruit mixture. Chill again for at least 30 minutes before serving.
