The spiced biscuit base is infused with warm, aromatic spices and has crushed walnuts for a nutty depth.

Make it for special occasions or as an afternoon treat when you want to enjoy everything chocolate.
How to decorate a cheesecake for Easter
When you decorate a cheesecake for Easter, it is all about being creative and having fun with the theme. Choose decorations that not only look good but also complement the flavour of your cheesecake, and of course, instantly make you think about Easter. Make fondant or use marzipan to create figures to put on top of the cheesecake. You can mould them or use cookie cutters shaped like bunnies, chicks, eggs, or lambs. You can also use whipped cream to pipe out faces, bunny ears, or the like. Dragée eggs, chocolate eggs, and other candy eggs are perfect on top, either decoratively nestled in piped or shaped 'nests' or pressed slightly down in whipped cream or frosting.
