Ingredients
Base
- 125 grams plain biscuits (Marie, Milk Coffee or similar)
- 90 grams butter, melted
Cheesecake filling
- 250 grams cream cheese
- ½ cup thickened cream / heavy cream (125ml)
- ½ cup caster sugar (115 grams)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (40ml)
- 1 teaspoon gelatine powder
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Mars Bar Topping
- 3 Mars bars (3 x 47 grams)
- 90 grams butter
- additional Mars Bar for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- Grease the round tin.
- Crush biscuits to a fine crumb consistency and add melted butter. Stir to combine and then press into the round tin.
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until creamy and soft.
- Add cream, and beat until combined.
- Add the tablespoon of water to the gelatine powder and whisk with a fork. Place the mixture into a microwave for 10 seconds. Stir again to dissolve and then stir through the cheesecake mixture until combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the biscuit base and place into the fridge.
- Place butter into a saucepan and melt over low heat. Add chopped Mars Bars when half of butter is melted. Stir over low-medium heat until the mixture is melted and smooth. You may need to use a whisk (stirring over heat) to achieve this smooth consistency.
- Allow Mars Bar mixture to cool for a couple of minutes before whisking again (to ensure smoothness of mixture) and pouring over top of cheesecake. Angle the tin from side to side to ensure Mars Bar mixture evenly covers the top of the cheesecake.
- Place cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set.
