Cheesecake Eggs with Shortbread Soldiers.

Anyway, I am beyond excited about these cute little cheesecake eggs with shortbread soldiers. I honestly couldn't think of anything cuter to make for an Easter Brunch dessert. I filled mine with a little Nutella and a little lemon curd. Just add some shortbread for dipping and you have the ultima...

Ingredients

12 servings
  • 12 eggshells with the top 1/4 of the shell removed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd or marmalade OR Nutella
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold + cubed, 8 tablespoons)

Steps

  1. Save the eggshells from breakfast or any baked goods you have made and pull out the filmy part from your eggshells. Wash them in boiling water to kill any germs and then allow them to air dry.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, cream cheese and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the zest of half a lemon. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each eggshell. Spoon on some lemon curd or marmalade to make the "yolk" OR just use Nutella. :) Keep stored in the fridge.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  4. In a food processor add the sugar, salt and flour and pulse to combine. Add the butter and mix until it starts to come together into a dough ball. Press into small, 8x8 inch baking dish. Slice into rectangles and prick each biscuit with a skewer, then place in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut along the lines that were sliced before baking. Let the shortbread cool.

  5. Dip the shortbread into the eggs and eat!
