Easter is a great opportunity for spending time with family and that shouldn’t include you spending hours in front of the stove, slaving away. I always find it a much more relaxing occasion than Christmas and the food should also reflect that.
This simple, no-bake Cheesecake can be made ahead of time and makes a great dessert centre-piece. It is also a great recipe to pull out of the bag if you find that you are really short of time.
The mascarpone (Italian) cheese in the dish provides a balance of flavours to the sweetness of the chocolate and creme egg fondant. This is just a suggested decoration – you could use Mini Eggs, crushed Easter eggs or whatever you can salvage from the children’s Easter Egg stash!
Tip: For clean slices when you slice the Cheesecake, use a sharp knife dipped in boiling water.
