Ingredients
For the base
- 250g (1 packet) Lotus Biscoff biscuits, crushed
- 100g (0.25 cup + 3 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
- 520g (2.25 cups) full-fat cream cheese
- 125g (0.75 cup + 2 tbsp) icing sugar
- 180g (1 cup) milk chocolate, melted
- 300ml (1.25 cups) double cream
- 200g (approx 6 bars) Crunchie bars, chopped
For topping
- 200g (approx 6 bars) Crunchie bars, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Crush the Lotus Biscoff biscuits finely and combine them with the melted unsalted butter, ensuring the mixture is evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the base of a 23cm (9-inch) springform cake tin to form the cheesecake base. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the full-fat cream cheese with the icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually stir in the melted milk chocolate until fully incorporated for a rich flavor.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and airy.
- Add Crunchie bars: Fold in the chopped Crunchie bars into the cheesecake mixture. Be careful not to crush them too much to maintain their crunchy texture within the filling.
- Assemble and chill: Spoon the filling over the chilled biscuit base in the tin, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Scatter the remaining chopped Crunchie bars evenly over the top as a crunchy topping. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly.
- Serve: Once fully set, remove the cheesecake from the springform tin. Slice and serve chilled for a deliciously crunchy, creamy dessert.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Ensure the crushed biscuits and butter are pressed firmly to create a stable base.
- Gently fold whipped cream to keep the filling light and fluffy without deflating it.
- Chilling time is important for the cheesecake to set fully; overnight is ideal for best results.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered for up to 3 days.
