Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 11 oz Graham crackers or digestive biscuits
  • 5 oz Butter, melted

Filling Ingredients

  • 7 oz Maltesers, chopped or roughly crushed
  • 1.7 lb Full fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp Vanilla bean paste
  • 450 oz Powdered sugar (icing sugar) – (Corrected to 450 g to fit realistic amount)
  • 10 floz Heavy cream (double cream)

Topping

  • 1¼ oz Milk chocolate, melted
  • Maltesers (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Place the Graham crackers or digestive biscuits in a food processor and blitz until they become fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until fully combined. Press the crumb mixture evenly and firmly into the base of a springform pan using the back of a spoon, then refrigerate to chill.
  2. Chop Maltesers: Roughly chop or crush the Maltesers and set aside for later use in the filling.
  3. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese, vanilla bean paste, and powdered sugar together until smooth. Using a food processor with a whisk attachment or an electric hand whisk works best. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue whisking until the mixture thickens enough to hold its shape.
  4. Combine filling and Maltesers: Fold the chopped Maltesers into the cream cheese mixture until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  5. Assemble cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared biscuit base and smooth out the top evenly. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 5 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set.
  6. Add topping and serve: When ready to serve, melt the milk chocolate and pipe it over the top of the cheesecake. Optionally, decorate the top with additional Maltesers. Slice, serve, and enjoy your no-bake Malteser cheesecake!

Notes

  • For best texture, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • The cheesecake needs significant chilling time (at least 5 hours) to set properly since it is no-bake.
  • Feel free to substitute digestive biscuits with graham crackers as per availability.
  • If you want a stronger malt flavor, add extra crushed Maltesers inside the filling or on top as decoration.
  • Use a springform pan to make it easier to remove the cheesecake without damaging the base.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
