Must-Have Ingredients for the Mini Egg Cheesecake Bars
You won’t need too many ingredients to make these sweet and delicious cheesecake bars. These are the ingredients you’ll need to get before getting started on this recipe:
- Vanilla Wafers – Crush these cookies into crumbs that you’ll use to prepare the crust.
- Unsalted Butter – Melt the butter down before combining it with the wafers to prepare a homemade, flavorful crust.
- Cream Cheese – Leave your cream cheese out at room temperature. It’s easier to work with when it’s not cold.
- Granulated Sugar – Make your cream cheese taste sweeter by combining it with a bit of sugar.
- Vanilla Extract – Enhance the flavor of your cream cheese mixture by using vanilla extract.
- Marshmallow Fluff – Use the fluff for added flavor and texture.
You’re also going to need two eggs and a bag of Cadbury mini eggs. Be sure to chop these candies before you use them.
Do I have to use vanilla wafers for the crust?
No, you don’t have to. You can always use graham cracker crumbs or any other type of cookies that you like. For example, if you love Oreo cookies, you can use them for the crust. You can add them to a food processor to chop them into crumbs before you prepare the homemade crust. Use what you like to enjoy these Mini Egg Cheesecake Bars even more.
What brand of cream cheese will I need to use?
Use any brand that you’d like. However, if you’re looking for suggestions, I’d recommend using Kraft’s Philadelphia Cream Cheese. It has such a great taste and works well when preparing cheesecakes. If you have a brand of cream cheese you like, feel free to use that instead.
How many cheesecake bars does this recipe make?
You can get 12 bars from this recipe, which will give you enough for everyone in the household. Of course, if you need to feed more people, it’s best to double your recipe to make up to 24 bars.
Recipe Notes
- Make sure you’re following the baking and cooling instructions exactly. If you don’t, you could end up with cracks in your cheesecake!
- After you’ve prepared these bars, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge, leaving them there for up to five days.
- You can add extras to these bars. In addition to the Cadbury mini eggs, you can also add sprinkles, mini chocolate chip morsels, or anything else that you enjoy!
