For the crust:

3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
For the chocolate nest:
½ cup dark chocolate chips
¼ cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup chow mein noodles
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool while preparing the filling.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla extract. Gradually add in the heavy cream and mix until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Melt the dark and milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Gently stir in the chow mein noodles until they are fully coated in chocolate.
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate. Spread the chocolate noodle mixture around the edges of the cheesecake to create a nest. Let it set in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Decorate the top of the cheesecake nest with your choice of Easter candies, such as mini chocolate eggs, Peeps, or jelly beans.
