Holidays in our family are a big deal. I come from a large Italian family and most holiday dinners are hosted by my Aunt and Uncle and have between 40-60 family members and close family friends. Almost everyone takes on a dish, so its quite a feast.

For many years, I have taken on the task of doing dessert for all. Generally that means 3-4 desserts and always one of those desserts is a cheesecake. I have learned over the years that our family loves cheesecake and there is never any left. The great part about this, it that I have become a cheesecake expert and love to come up with new recipes to keep things fresh!

I get my inspiration from reading recipes, and visual mediums like Instagram. Easter though, I’m often inspired by Easter candy and this time out, I was inspired by these Galaxy Caramel eggs.

I was also inspired by a new blog I’ve been following Sweet Relief pastries and her Easter egg Nanaimo bars. So I adapted her crust recipe and then decided I wanted to go the non bake route. So that I could use up a jar of dolce letches I had in my cupboard.
The key to this recipe is that you need to fold in the whipping cream and ideally let it set over night in your refrigerator. The results are worth the effort and bet part is that you never have to deal with a cracked cheesecake.

Since this year our Easter dinner was cancelled (due to the Pandemic), I made this along with a few other desserts, boxed up and delivered to some of my family members, so that at least some Easter treats could be enjoyed. I know Easter has just passed, but if you have any Easter Candy left over – you can whip this up any time. Just be warned – its ridiculously rich and addictive!
