Cadbury Mini Eggs are always featured at our Easter table and Easter egg hunt. And, the girls and I decided to add it to the base of one of our favorite dips. Friends, this cheesecake dip is amazing.

No bake: When it’s a festive time, I prefer using a few less intensive recipes like this one so it frees up time for other recipes or activities.
Crowd pleaser: Get ready to make this dip on repeat. It’s creamy and full of flavor and your guests will love it.
Easy to make with a handful of ingredients: I love recipes that have minimal ingredients and are fuss-free to make but are so popular among guests.

Ingredients Notes

Cream cheese – Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture. Make sure it’s softened to room temperature, so it blends easily without lumps.
Powdered sugar – Also known as confectioners’ sugar. It adds sweetness and helps keep the dip smooth. Don’t substitute with granulated sugar, as it won’t dissolve properly.
Vanilla extract – Adds additional flavor. Use pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
Heavy whipping cream – This makes the dip light and fluffy. Whip it until soft peaks form. Try not to over-whip, or it might turn grainy.
Cadbury mini chocolate Easter egg candies – You can also use M&M Easter pastel-colored candies or any other candy you enjoy.

Bintu’s Tips for Success

You can soften your cream cheese by placing it into a glass bowl and microwaving it for 15 seconds.
Be sure to sift your powdered sugar for the best results.
Substitute M&M Easter pastel-colored candies for the Cadbury mini eggs if desired.
To crush your candies, you can either chop them with a chef’s knife, pulse them in a food processor, or place them in a sealed zip lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Prep and Storage

Prep Ahead – You can make this dip up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Once ready to serve give it a good stir.
Freeze – I do not recommend freezing the dip, as the texture may change upon thawing.
Storage – Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving.

FAQs
