Prep :- Take the Cream, Cream Cheese and Butter out of the fridge 30mns beforehand.
Put the Chocolate egg in the fridge to chill.
Grate the zest of the lemon.
Squeeze out 2 tbsp of the juice
Melt the butter
Place the biscuits in a bag or food processor and crush till you have crumb. Place in a bowl and
add the butter and stir through. Place in the fridge to chill.
Add the Cream to a bowl and whisk till thickened (8-10mins)
Add the Cream Cheese, Icing Sugar, Lemon juice and Zest.
Fold through till you have a smooth mixture.
Take the Chocolate Egg from the fridge. Carefully tap it till it splits in 2 - (Cadbury eggs are best for this as most come in 2 1/2s ) or use a hot knife to cut the edge open
Add 2 tbsp of Biscuit crumb into each half of the egg.
Add 3-4 tbsp of Cream mix (enough to fill the shell)
Smooth over with the back of a spoon or a palette knife. Place in the fridge to chill for 30mns.(They can be wrapped and frozen at this stage for later use)
Decorate with any toppings you prefer. I used mini jammie dodgers,mini eggs,a chocolate dipped strawberry crushed chocolate biscuit and a kit kat bunny.
Easy Swaps:-
Double Cream for Mascarpone
Lemon juice for vanilla extract.
Lemon zest is optional.
Tip- Don't pack the biscuits crumb in too tightly as the egg will break up.
Tip- Freeze any leftover Cheescake mix for later or use on scones instead of clotted cream.
