Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) cream cheese
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) digestive biscuits (crushed)
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) Maltesers (chopped, plus extra for topping)
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) unsalted butter (melted)
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) milk chocolate (for the topping)
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) icing sugar
Cream and Liquid Ingredients:
- 200 milliliters (6.8 fluid ounces) double cream
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Flavoring Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crush digestive biscuits and blend with melted butter until fully incorporated, creating a cohesive base mixture.
- Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform tin, ensuring an even layer and compact surface.
- Refrigerate the base for 30 minutes to allow it to solidify and set completely.
- Whip double cream with icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.
- Beat cream cheese in a separate bowl until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining the delicate volume and creating a silky consistency.
- Incorporate chopped Maltesers into the cream mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Pour the creamy Malteser mixture over the chilled biscuit base, using a spatula to spread it smoothly and evenly.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure a firm and set texture.
- Melt milk chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely smooth.
- Add hot water to the melted chocolate, stirring until the mixture becomes glossy and well combined.
- Drizzle the chocolate sauce across the set cheesecake in an artistic pattern.
- Garnish the top with additional whole and crushed Maltesers for visual appeal and extra crunch.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure biscuits are finely crushed for a smooth, compact base that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and create a silky, creamy texture that blends seamlessly.
- Fold cream gently into cream cheese to maintain the light, airy consistency without deflating the whipped cream.
- Chill cheesecake overnight for maximum flavor development and firmer set, allowing Maltesers to distribute evenly throughout the dessert.
