This Giant Creme Egg Dip with cookies and marshmallows makes the most memorable Easter dessert! The dip takes only five minutes to prep, then you’re ready to serve with all of your dipping goodies! A sweet treat to make you smile.
The looks of awe and admiration when this dessert is placed on the table are unbelievable – especially considering the minimal amount of effort that goes into creating it.
Even placing that Christmas turkey on the table doesn’t compare!
I first made this several years ago and the kids have asked me for it every year since. So here it is, the approximately 1 million calories, best Easter sharing dessert in the world.

***Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post***
- Whisk cream in the bowl of a stand mixer until soft peaks form, then add vanilla bean paste, cream cheese, and icing sugar. Whisk again until smooth.
- Place two Easter egg halves on a serving plate. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into both of the eggs.
- Spoon orange curd on top in a blob in the middle of each Easter egg half.
- Arrange the biscuits, fruit, marshmallows and pretzels around the eggs and serve.
Pro Tip
I always use a medium-sized Easter egg. I find Cadbury Easter eggs are best as the two halves of the Easter egg aren’t stuck together (or they’re only very lightly stuck together) to you can pull them apart easily without breaking the egg.
Wishing you a Happy Easter with plenty of chocolate!

I like to use a selection of at least 8 different foods for dipping.
- Ideally a mixture of biscuits/cookies, fruit (such as strawberries and apple slices) and marshmallows. I like to use cookies of different shapes, sizes and colour to add variety to the serving plate.
- Long thin biscuits work particularly well – such as chocolate fingers, wafer curls, pink wafers and shortbread fingers.
