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!

For once I haven't even attempted to include calorie information in the recipe card. If you're eating this dessert you aren't counting calories.

I first made something similar a few years ago for another website, and the kids have asked me for it every year since. So here it is, the approximately 1 million calorie, best Easter sharing dessert in the world.

What do you need?

Steps to make this Easter dip

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.

Best Easter egg to use

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.

Dipping ideas

Use a selection of at least 8 different foods for dipping. Ideally a mixture of biscuits/cookies, fruit 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 and shortbread fingers.

More filling ideas

Mix the cream cheese mixture with crushed oreos or your favourite crushed biscut.
Swirl the cream cheese mixture with Biscoff spread, Nutella or salted caramel.
Drizzle over blueberry compote or tinned cherry pie filling.

✎ Notes

Can you make it ahead?

Yes, you can fill the chocolate eggs with the cheesecake and orange curd mixture, then wrap them in clingfilm/plastic wrap or wax paper and refrigerate them for up to two days.
Arrange the biscuits and fruit around the cheese-filled eggs right before serving.

Orange curd

If you can't get hold of orange curd you can replace it with lemon curd (leave as it is or mix with a drop of orange food colouring)
