Ingredients

Scale

For the Biscuit Base:

  • 200g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional, for a richer chocolate flavor)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 500g cream cheese, softened
  • 200ml double cream (heavy cream)

For the Topping:

  • 100g Maltesers, whole and crushed
  • 50g milk chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
  • 50g white chocolate, melted (optional, for extra decoration)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base

  1. 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.
  2. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and cocoa powder (if using) until fully combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform cake tin (20cm/8-inch) and smooth it out evenly.
  4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to set.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture.
  5. Slowly fold in the melted milk chocolate until fully incorporated.
  6. Finally, mix in the crushed Maltesers, ensuring an even distribution throughout the filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit base and smooth out the top.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) to allow it to set properly.

Step 4: Add the Malteser Toppings

  1. Once set, decorate the cheesecake with whole and crushed Maltesers on top.
  2. Drizzle with melted milk chocolate and white chocolate for a beautiful finish.
  3. 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.
