Line the base of a 20cm non-stick loose-bottomed tin with baking paper. Put the biscuits in a sealable food bag, seal and bash with a rolling pin to make fine crumbs. Or you could put the biscuits in your food processor and blitz.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BreakBiscuits-MinieggCheesecake-SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Slimming World chef bashing digestive biscuits with a rolling pin\" class=\"wp-image-4761\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>2. Melt the spread in a small, non-stick saucepan over a low heat, then stir in the biscuit crumbs. Spritz the tin with 1 cal cooking spray, then spoon the crumbs into the tin and, using the back of the spoon, press them down to cover the base evenly. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes, or in the fridge for 30 minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FlattenBase-MinieggCheesecake-SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Slimming World chef flattening biscuit cheesecake base with spoon\" class=\"wp-image-4762\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>3. Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Remove the gelatine, squeeze out any excess water and put it in a small non-stick saucepan with 200g of the yogurt. Stir continuously over a low heat for 1-2 minutes, until the gelatine has melted into the yogurt. Leave to cool.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/what-happens-online\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"145\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Online-Feel-Real-Good-Campaign-Food-Small-CTA.jpg\" alt=\"Feel Real Good - Online small CTA\" class=\"wp-image-11364\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>4. Put the remaining yogurt, soft&nbsp;cheese, vanilla extract and sweetener in a large mixing bowl. Add the gelatine mixture and beat everything together until well-combined and smooth. Stir in the grated chocolate, then spoon the mixture over the biscuit base and smooth the top. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AddVanilla-MinieggCheesecake-SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Slimming World chef adding vanilla to cheesecake mixture\" class=\"wp-image-4759\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>5. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin, discarding the baking paper, and put it on a serving plate or cake stand. Evenly scatter over the mini egg pieces and cut into 10 equal slices to serve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Bodyv2-MinieggCheesecake-SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Slimming World mini egg cheesecake\" class=\"wp-image-4771\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Recipe tip: You can make the cheesecake up to 24 hours ahead.
