# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Each person gets their own adorable dessert with no slicing required
  • The surprise chocolate eggs hidden inside make every spoon exciting
02 -
  • The cream cheese must be genuinely soft or your filling will have tiny grainy bits that no amount of mixing can fix
  • Press the crust down firmly with the back of a spoon or it will crumble apart when you try to eat it
03 -
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes before whipping the cream for faster results
  • The solid chocolate eggs hold their shape better than hollow ones when buried in cheesecake
