  5. Add chopped Mini Eggs and grated chocolate. Beat briefly on low speed until combined.
  6. Spoon cheesecake mixture over cookie crust and gently smooth the top. Pop back into the fridge for at least 6 hours, or even better, overnight.
  7. To serve, beat cream until whipped using an electric mixer or a whisk. Add to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe cream around the edges. Sprinkle grated chocolate on top.

Notes

Any plain sweet store bought biscuits or cookies will work fine.
