1 . Stage

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Blow up balloons in the shape of an egg. Dip in melted chocolate, swirling it around the balloons, until just the tops aren’t coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and freeze until firm, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, make cheesecake filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla and salt.

3 . Stage

Cut tops off balloons to pop and gently peel out balloon from each chocolate shell. Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling into each shell.
