Today is Maundy Thursday, the day before Good Friday and the start of the long Easter weekend, which is one of my Favourite times of the year; sadly, this year, due to a serious family illness, we will be travelling to and from hospital (over a hundred and fifty miles way), and there will just be the three of us……but, I still intend to put up my Easter Tree, cook a family Easter Sunday Lunch and bake some special Easter treats, such as this Creme Egg Cheesecake for Easter! The recipe isn’t my own, which regular readers of Lavender and Lovage will know is rare, but, as things are a little upside down this year, I was glad of an easy to follow recipe, and one that will be tasty and bit of fun for our Easter tea time table.

Creme Egg Cheesecake for Easter

The recipe makes use of Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, as well as lots of chocolate, vanilla and full-fat cream cheese, so it is quite rich, but extremely delicious! And, it certainly looks the part too, with all of the creme eggs IN the cheesecake, as well as adorning the top, along with some melted chocolate swirls; the recipe is by Georgia’s Cakes, which was was founded in 2015 by Georgia Green in North London……her cakes are simply gorgeous, and very decadent, as you can see from some of the examples here: Georgia’s Cakes. We all love cheesecake at Chez Lavender and Lovage, and especially one that is loaded with vanilla and full-fat cream cheese. Much though I love to create and cook healthy recipes, sweet indulgences for certain times of the year should be just that, a sweet and indulgent treat, that is NOT low-fat or low-calorie – for special times of the year and in moderation!

Creme Egg Cheescake

The recipe for this Creme Egg Cheescake is shared below, but please note that the photos I am sharing are of the recipe cut back by a half, as there are only three of us here for Easter, as I mentioned before.  And with that mind, instead of using an 8″ (20cm) cake ring or spring form tin, I used a smaller one, a 6″ (15cm) loose-bottom tin. If you need to half the ingredients, then it works just fine, and I was rewarded with a small but perfectly formed, creamy chocolate and vanilla cheesecake, that we are looking forward to enjoying this weekend. Have a very Happy Easter……I will see you soon with some travel stories from South Africa and the West Indies, along with some new recipes and some notes and recipes from an exciting new project with wine!
