Crème Egg Cheesecake
I am one of those people that is a sweet tooth kind of person. I don’t care for wine, really don’t eat much bread, but have a HUGE sweet tooth.
So when Easter comes around (or usually in the build up to Easter when Easter chocolate is everywhere) I am buying Easter eggs and seeing what I can create with them.
I even have so many Easter recipes I have made that I am running a theme this month, share a lot of them with you. Such as brown dyed eggs in the air fryer, instant pot easter devilled eggs, instant pot easter cake and of course air fryer easter cake.
Today, is another of those favourites where we show you how to make a crème egg cheesecake. So good and it’s a cooked cheesecake (I much prefer these over no bake) and you will love how easy it is to prep with kitchen gadgets and then serve over Easter.
You could also swap the crème egg for Cadbury’s Caramel or another favourite chocolate egg.

Which Is Better Bake Or No-Bake Cheesecake?
I have made both baked and no-bake cheesecake and have found that they are both delicious.
But I much prefer the texture of a baked cheesecake, plus with a baked cheesecake it’s a lot harder for it to go wrong.
I also notice that nearly all US cheesecake recipes are baked whilst most UK cheesecakes are no-bake.
Can You Make A Cheesecake In The Instant Pot?
Yes, you can make a cheesecake in the instant pot, and this is not our first time doing so. Our favourite is our instant pot strawberry cheesecake. It is so easy to make and you can blend in some of the strawberries to give it a fantastic colour to the cheesecake.
Another favourite made in our Ninja Foodi on the pressure cooker button is our ninja foodi oreo cheesecake.
Can I Use Spring Form Pan In Instant Pot?
Yes, you can use spring form pans in the instant pot, and they are truly brilliant and also perfect for cheesecake.
This is the spring form pan we recommend but there are so many available to buy. Our new favourite that we used in the air fryer is these mini spring form pans and they are so cute too and come in a pack of 4.
Instant Pot Cheesecake Flavours
And whilst we have made cheesecakes before with oreos, crème eggs, strawberries, there is still a lot of other ideas you could do.
Dom’s favourite is dulce de leche. And what you do here is stir in a can of instant pot caramel and its so, so good.
You can also make them with blueberries, raspberries, any favourite Easter egg, or even add in some biscoff.

Crème Egg Cheesecake Recipe Ingredients
Biscuits – For the biscuit base we used digestive biscuits as well as some unsalted butter. You could use the same or swap for another biscuit base. Leftover cookies, graham crackers or even oreos make a delicious base.
Cheese – Philadelphia cream cheese is the BEST and I couldn’t imagine a cheesecake with another soft cheese.
Sugars – Then for sugars we recommend caster sugar or granulated sugar as both work well on the cheesecake.
Eggs – Because this is a Cadbury crème egg cheesecakein the instant pot, we are using eggs because we are cooking the cheesecake rather than it being a no-bake.
Extras – We also love some vanilla extract and some Greek yoghurt in our cheesecake. You can use double cream (heavy cream) if you prefer.
Decorations – Then we finished off with decorating the instant pot cheesecake. We kept it simple and added sliced crème eggs and some toffee sauce drizzled on top.
Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in this instant pot crème egg dessert recipe it has just been our Instant Pot. We have this one and it’s my favourite and great for a lot of different instant pot dessert recipes.
Plus, we recommend you head over to our instant pot recipes category as we have many electric pressure cooker recipes and have been using instant pots for 5 years.
How To Make A Crème Egg Cheesecake?
We like an easy instant pot cheesecake and mix the ingredients in our Thermomix. If you don’t have a Thermomix you can use a kitchen aid mixer, a regular food processor or even an electrical hand mixer.
- Crumbs. I like to start by making the biscuit base. Add to the Thermomix your digestive biscuits and mix until it resembles breadcrumbs. Then add in melted butter stir and add to the bottom of your spring form pan.
- Mix. Then add cream cheese to the Thermomix with the sugar and mix at medium speed until creamy. Then add everything but the chocolate mix well and then mix in the chocolate.
- Cook. Then pour the mixture into the spring form pan and then flatten with a spatula before covering with foil. Place water into the instant pot, add the trivet, load the spring form pan over the trivet, add the lid and pressure cook for 30 minutes followed by a quick pressure release.
- Cool. Once cooked, allow to cool and then place into the fridge for at least 12 hours.
- Decorate. Then once it’s had a good cool in the fridge get the knife around the edges and release the spring form. Then decorate with crème eggs and a drizzle of your favourite sauce.
And I am sure you can see now how simple and easy this recipe for pressure cooker crème egg cheesecake and why you should be doing the same.
