Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information Yes, the cheesecake will last for 3-4 days when stored in the fridge. If you decorate it with whipped cream, it will only last up to 2 days.

To make the biscuit base, crush the biscuits into crumbs. You can do this using a food processor, or put the biscuits into a sandwich bag or a bowl, and gently bash them with the end of a rolling pin Normally I would insist that you use full fat cream cheese and double cream for a no bake cheesecake, as both of these ingredients are essential to ensure it sets. However, as these cheesecakes are served in Easter eggs you don't need them to set firmly enough to be sliced. Therefore if you want to make a low fat version you can absolutely do this, but please be aware the cheesecake will have a looser consistency. Melt the chocolate orange segments. You can do this in the microwave, start with a 20 second blast, then stir. Blast in 10 second intervals, stirring between each one. Drizzle the melted chocolate orange over the top of the cheesecakes I used Terry's chocolate orange segments, Terry's chocolate orange mini eggs, Smarties mini eggs and Cadbury chocolate orange eggs to decorate the cheesecakes, but you can decorate with any orange flavoured chocolate you prefer, there are lots of yummy choices!Warm a large sharp knife under a hot water tap, carefully dry it off, then very gently press it around the egg where the seam is. Keep slowly and gently working your way around the egg, re-warming the knife if needed, until the two halves separate. Can you make this recipe in advance?

Setting it in the freezer will affect the texture and it won't be as nice. Once it's set in the fridge, you can then put the cheesecake in the freezer for up to three months. Defrost at room temperature for a couple of hours. What can you use instead of orange extract? I have not tested this recipe with dairy free ingredients, but I think it would be suitable to make dairy free by substituting the dairy ingredients for alternatives.
