These cute little cheesecakes are perfect for Easter! Creamy cheesecake filling sits atop a shortbread crust and is topped with a cheesecake pudding whipped cream.

Ingredients  

Crust:

  • 5 ounces shortbread cookies I used Lorna Doone
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter melted

Filling:

Topping:


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line two cupcake tins with liners for 18 cheesecakes.
  • Add the shortbread cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the melted butter and process again until fully combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners with 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture and gently press evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Scraping down the sides as needed. The cream cheese will need to be very soft.
  • Add the sour cream, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
  • Measure 3-4 tablespoons of filling into the cupcake liners, leaving about ¼ inch of space from the top.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, then turn off the oven and crack the oven door and leave the cheesecakes in for 1 additional hour to allow cheesecakes to set evenly.
  • After the cheesecakes cool to room temperature, they can be transferred to the refrigerator.
  • Before serving, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and instant pudding mix together until fluffy.
  • Pipe dollops onto the tops of the cheesecakes then top with green sprinkles and Cadbury mini eggs and mini chocolate bunnies.

Notes

  • Instant vanilla pudding mix can be used instead of cheesecake flavored. You can also just use whipped cream.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • It’s best to top right before serving since the Cadbury eggs don’t hold up well in the fridge when touching the whipped cream topping.
  • The crust will soften after about 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is really soft so there aren’t any lumps in the cheesecake.
