Decadent no-bake Milkybar cheesecake with mascarpone
Description
The Decadent no-bake Milkybar cheesecake with mascarpone relies on a buttery shortbread biscuit base crushed finely and combined with melted butter, pressed into a springform tin to create a firm, textured foundation. The filling blends melted white Milkybar chocolate with cold double cream, mascarpone cheese, and cream cheese flavored with vanilla and icing sugar, resulting in a velvety smooth and lightly sweet cheesecake mixture. As it sets chilled in the fridge, the filling thickens into a luscious, creamy centerpiece that contrasts nicely against the crunchy base. This cheesecake offers a milky, gentle sweetness and is served chilled, best sliced after sufficient setting time to allow clean cuts and proper texture.
Ingredients
For the base
- 250 grams shortbread biscuit
- 80 grams butter melted, unsalted
For the cheesecake filling
- 350 grams Milkybar chocolate
- 200 grams cream fridge cold, double
- 250 grams mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 400 grams cream cheese room temperature, soft
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
Instructions
To make the base
- Using a food processor, whizz the shortbread biscuits into a fine crumb. You can also place the biscuits in a strong plastic bag and crush them into a fine crumb with a rolling pin.
- Melt the butter until it turns into a liquid, either in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove.
- Add the melted butter to the biscuit crumbs and blend them together using the food processor. If you are doing this by hand, transfer the crumbs from the bag into a bowl and use a fork to mix and incorporate the melted butter evenly.
- To make a parchment paper circle for the base of a 23cm springform tin, place the tin down on a piece of parchment paper. Trace the shape of the tin's base with a pencil or pen. Cut out the traced circle and place it in the bottom of the tin.
- Pour the biscuit mixture into the tin and use the back of a spoon or the flat bottom of a glass to press it down and create an even layer.
- Place the tin in the fridge while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
To make the cheesecake filling
- Break the Milkybar chocolate into smaller pieces and place it in a microwave safe bowl.
- Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval. Repeat until the chocolate has completely melted.Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate on the stove using a double boiler method. Place the chocolate in a metal or glass bowl that sits on top of a pot with simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir the chocolate continuously until it melts.
- Set aside the melted Milkybar chocolate to cool slightly while you continue with the rest of the filling.
- Whip the fridge-cold double cream until soft peaks form.
- In a separate large bowl, whip together the room temperature mascarpone, cream cheese, vanilla extract and icing sugar until well combined.
- Add the whipped double cream to the mascarpone mixture and continue whisking on a medium speed until you have a medium-firm texture.
- Add the melted white chocolate and whisk briefly until mostly combined. Give it a final stir by hand and scrape down the sides as you do so.
- Spoon the mixture over the top of the butter shortbread base and smooth with the back of a spoon.
- For an extra smooth surface on your cheesecake, dip the spoon into a bowl of freshly boiled water, wipe the spoon dry and gently smooth over the top of the cheesecake.
- Place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 6 hours to set, ideally overnight.
- Before releasing the clip on the springform tin, use a long knife or palette knife to carefully slide between the cheesecake and the sides of the tin. This step helps to ensure a clean and smooth release, preventing the cheesecake from sticking to the sides and avoiding any uneven or jagged edges.
