- STEP 2Next put your biscuits in the food processor until turned into a powder. While you are doing that melt your butter on a low heat in the stove. Once melted add it to the crushed biscuits and give it another blitz.
- STEP 3One blended, put a dessert spoon full of biscuit and butter mix in the half easter egg and smooth out. This should only fill up 1/3 of the half egg.Place this in the fridge for half to 1 hour.
- STEP 4Get out 2 bowls and in 1 put your cream in, and in the other put your cream cheese and icong sugar in. With a hand whisk, whisk the cream until thick and rippled. Next whisk your icing sugar and cream cheese until combined.
- STEP 5Table spoon at a time, add your icing sugar and cream cheese mix to the cream. Once added one spoon full, fold gently so you dont loose any air.
- STEP 6When all is combined, spoon the mixture into your chilled easter eggs. Fill them as desired.
- STEP 7Once filled grab some strawberries and cit the top off them. Next slice them but not all the way to the top. This should give a cute flower effect.
- STEP 8Smash some left over chocolate and sprinkle it over the eggs. Leave to chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Yummy! Enjoy!
