Instructions

Conventional Method

Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm spring-form pan with baking paper and set aside.
Finely crush biscuits in a food processor and place into a bowl. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the base of the pan and place into the fridge.
Whip cream and set aside.
Melt chocolate and set aside to cool.
To dissolve the gelatine, place 1 tablespoon of gelatine powder into a small bowl filled with ⅓ cup lukewarm water. Place that small bowl into a large bowl and fill the larger bowl with boiling water (do not allow the boiling water to enter the smaller bowl). Allow the boiling water to slowly heat the smaller bowl and stir occasionally to dissolve the gelatine (this will take a couple of minutes).
Beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooled, dissolved gelatine to the mix and beat until well combined.
Fold through the melted (and cooled) white chocolate and the whipped cream.
Spoon half of the mixture onto the prepared base and arrange 6 of the Cadbury Creme Eggs on top. Spoon over the remaining mixture and spread out.
Place the cheesecake into the fridge to set for a minimum of 6 hours (for best results, leave in the fridge overnight before cutting).
Decorate with extra Cadbury Creme Eggs to decorate.

Thermomix Method

Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm spring-form pan with baking paper and set aside.
Melt butter in the TM bowl for 2 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1. Add the biscuits and crush for 10 seconds, Speed 10. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the base of the pan and place into the fridge.
Whip cream in a clean, dry TM bowl on Speed 3.5 until lightly whipped (the time it takes will depend on the freshness of the cream - it can be anywhere between 10 seconds and 2 minutes!!) Set the cream aside in a separate bowl.
Place the white chocolate into the TM bowl and melt for 3 minutes, 50 degrees, Speed 2. Set aside in a bowl.
Dissolve 1 tbs gelatine in ⅓ cup water (see notes) and set aside.
Beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugar in a clean and dry TM bowl for 30 seconds, Speed 5. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and repeat until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooled, dissolved gelatine to the mix and beat until well combined.
Fold through the melted (and cooled) white chocolate and the whipped cream.
Spoon half of the mixture onto the prepared base and arrange 6 of the Cadbury Creme Eggs on top. Spoon over the remaining mixture and spread out.

Recipe Notes & Tips

Make sure the gelatine is fully dissolved and clear before mixing in. Sprinkle the gelatine over lukewarm water and let it sit for a minute or two. Gently heat it over a bowl of hot water, or microwave in very short bursts, stirring each time. It should be completely clear and liquid before you add it. If it looks grainy, it is not ready yet.
Chill for at least 6 hours (overnight is best) for clean, neat slices.
