Steps:
- Grease a 18cm loose bottomed round cake tin with a little butter and line with a circle of baking paper. Melt the butter in a large heatproof bowl in the microwave or in a medium sized pan over a low heat. Whiz the chocolate digestives in a food processor until reduced to fine crumbs then tip into the melted butter. Spoon the biscuit mixture into the base of the prepared tin - press down well with the back of a spoon.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the rest of the cheesecake ingredients then pour into the tin. Smooth the top with a spatula then place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs or overnight.
- When you're ready to serve carefully transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate or cake stand and sprinkle the top with coconut flakes - making a bigger mound in the centre then arrange the meringue nests on top. Fill the nests with mini eggs, extra sprinkling of coconut, hundreds & thousands and the fluffy chicks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet that can take high temperatures without warping, with parchment paper or Silpat.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites. It helps if you are making more than one egg nest to keep each egg yolk in a separate prep bowl.
- Place the egg whites in a very clean mixer bowl and add the salt. Beat the egg whites with a whisk attachment in a mixer (or using a hand mixer), starting on low speed and then slowly increasing to high speed, until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the grated Gruyere cheese, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.
- Create two mounds of the egg white mixture on the lined baking sheet. Form the mounds so they look like nests, with indentations in the centers.
- Place in the oven for 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, open the oven, pull out the rack with the egg white nests, and gently add an egg yolk to the center of each nest.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for 3 more minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the meringue nests.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy to ensure a light and airy meringue.
- Pipe the meringue into nests that are about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch deep.
- Bake the meringue nests for about 1 hour, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Let the meringue nests cool completely before filling them with the cheesecake filling.
- Use a chilled spoon to scoop the cheesecake filling into the meringue nests.
- Top the cheesecakes with mini eggs and fresh berries before serving.
Conclusion:
These meringue nest cheesecakes with mini eggs are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for Easter or any other special occasion. The combination of the sweet and crispy meringue nests, the creamy cheesecake filling, and the colorful mini eggs makes for a truly unique and unforgettable dessert. With a little planning and effort, you can easily create these beautiful and delicious cheesecakes at home.
