I had a go at making my first cheesecake last week and I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it was, so I thought I would share the recipe with everyone here!
You will need:
22cm spring-form cake tin
3 large bowls
Rolling pin
Zip lock bag
Hand mixer or whisk
Wooden spoon
Ingredients:
150g digestive biscuits
50g butter
300g Philadelphia (or any brand of cream cheese. You can use the lighter option either)
200ml whipping cream
200g Toblerone
Method:
To form your biscuit base, place the digestives in a zip lock bag and smash with a rolling pin until you are left with a bag of crumbs. (Be careful not to smash too hard and burst the bag!) Place the butter in a large bowl resting over a saucepan of boiling water to melt. (Watch out for steam burns!) Thoroughly combine the melted butter and biscuit crumbs and with a wooden spoon, press firmly into the base of a lightly greased spring-form cake tin. Put in the fridge to chill.
Using the same method that you used to melt your butter, melt 175g of the Toblerone. Lightly whip the cream, then beat the cream cheese until smooth. Next, fold the whipped cream and melted chocolate into the cream cheese until the three are well combined.
Pour this mixture onto the prepared crumb base and refrigerate for two to three hours, or ideally if you have the time, leave overnight. Grate the remaining 25g of Toblerone onto the cheesecake to serve.
Enjoy and don't think about the calories, we all deserve a treat now and again! Let me know if you try it and how it turns out :)
That looks amazing and sounds so easy, I've just taken down the recipe!
