Ingredients for No Bake Easter Egg Cheesecakes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Egg Shells

Unwrap the chocolate eggs. Dip a sharp knife into hot water, wipe it dry, and carefully score along the seam of each egg. Keep repeating until the eggs separate cleanly into halves. Set aside.

2. Make the Cookie Crust

In a small bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until it looks like damp sand. Divide the mixture evenly among the chocolate egg halves, pressing gently to form a firm base.
