I’ve had my fair share of shop bought/chain restaurant cheesecake so had become quite disillusioned to the prospect of enjoying one due to the dullness sometimes experienced from most cheesecake’s.

As I mentioned, you can easily make this entire recipe by hand, so you certainly don’t need any crazy appliances or anything like that. I melted choc first, let it cool, then mixed cream cheese and whipped d cream separately. As I was wary that once I added the melted chocolate it would be too runny I made sure the choc had started to harden, as cooling it did not make the consistency sloppy in fact quite stiff and ready to put onto biscuit base. So my advice is to not have the chocolate too hot and runny. Also I used a small amount of low fat cream cheese and noticed this was not as stiff as the full fat cream cheese. So full fat would also help to keep the consistency stiff. Not many of us can afford to spend this much on an egg but if you can, it won't disappoint and should last you ages. Not with the mini eggs in them! The only part of this recipe that can’t be made dairy free are the Terry’s chocolate orange mini eggs which contain milk.The cupcakes will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in a cool place. You can freeze both the cupcakes and the buttercream. To freeze them separately, wrap the cupcakes well in cling film or put them in an airtight container. The buttercream can be frozen in a sealed tub. To freeze them decorated, freeze the cupcakes on a plate until frozen solid, then carefully wrap in cling film. Remove the clingfilm when you take the cupcakes out of the freezer to defrost, as if they defrost with it still on it could damage the buttercream. Can you make the cupcakes with plain/all purpose flour? Classic Lindor, this egg got the right balance of lovely chocolate and a hint of orange Credit: Gary Stone I am learning so much at the moment as only just started to make desserts. After making this I found your video on YouTube. Could have saved a lot of time as I did so much individually instead of just bunging everything in a bowl and mixing but hey ho you live and learn.

Hi – Thank you so much! Unfortunately I can’t help what the magazine has printed and if they had to delete some words to make it fit to the magazine. As you can see on my post on here it says “Sprinkle on some orange zest sugar (Mix together the Orange zest and caster sugar until the sugar turns orange and its combined!), and then using the second chocolate orange, melt a few segments and drizzle over the cheesecake,” which is explaining to sprinkle over the orange zest sugar, and then drizzle. A lot of work went into fine tuning ratios and quantities so I wouldn’t mess around with them unless you really know your stuff. I’d recommending using digital cooking scales like these so you know you’re getting an accurate measurement and replicating my recipe as accurately as poss. Can I make your gluten free Easter chocolate orange brownies without sugar? I had a little laugh when I read your recipe. You have listed “Spare chocolate orange slices”. There’s no such thing as spare slices, those are the chefs benefit while the cheesecake sets 😂 This is a nut-free recipe as far as ingredients go, BUT the Terry’s chocolate orange mini eggs do have a may contain warning for nuts. So proceed with caution if you need to! Is your gluten free Easter chocolate orange brownies recipe low FODMAP? Easter chocolate seems to turn up in supermarkets so early these days – they might as well just embrace it and make Christmas Easter eggs ?I made this at Christmas for my boyfriends family, it was my first time meeting the extended family, so had to impress. Well boy did it deliver! It’s so indulgent the perfect treat, cheesecake and terry’s choc orange what’s not to love!
