For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 500g cream cheese, softened
- 200ml double cream (heavy cream)

- 150g milk chocolate, melted
- 100g Maltesers, crushed

For the Topping:

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter and cocoa powder (if using) until fully combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform cake tin (20cm/8-inch) and smooth it out evenly.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to set.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture.
- Slowly fold in the melted milk chocolate until fully incorporated.
- Finally, mix in the crushed Maltesers, ensuring an even distribution throughout the filling.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit base and smooth out the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) to allow it to set properly.
Step 4: Add the Malteser Toppings
- Once set, decorate the cheesecake with whole and crushed Maltesers on top.
- Drizzle with melted milk chocolate and white chocolate for a beautiful finish.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
✅ Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, creamier texture.
✅ Crush the Maltesers gently to keep some crunchy bits for added texture.
✅ Let the cheesecake set overnight for the best consistency.
✅ For extra indulgence, add a layer of chocolate ganache before topping with Maltesers.
✅ Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
