No Bake White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

No Bake White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

Servings 8 people

• 100 g digestive biscuits
• 40 g butter
• 250 g cream cheese
• 100 g caster sugar
• 175 g white chocolate
• 150 ml double cream
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• decoration to taste

Method

1. Line the base of an 18cm round loose bottomed tin with greaseproof paper or a reusable baking liner
2. Crush the digestive biscuits (100g) – I use a pestle and mortar, but you can also put the biscuits into a bag and bash them with a rolling pin too
3. I don’t like to grind mine too finely as I like them to have a slightly crunchier texture
4. Melt your butter (40g) and mix it with the crushed biscuits
5. Put the biscuit mix into the prepared tin and use the back of a spoon to push it flat
6. Put the tin into the fridge to chill while you make the topping
7. Melt the white chocolate (175g)
8. I melt mine in the microwave using 20 second bursts until the chocolate is just melted, stirring in between
9. You can also use a bain marie, or a saucepan over a very low heat if you prefer
10. Set the chocolate aside to cool – it must have cooled to room temperature before being added to the other ingredients
11. Whip the double cream (150ml) until it forms a stiff peak
12. Add the cooled, melted white chocolate to the whipped cream and whisk together
13. Add the cream cheese (250g), caster sugar (100g) and vanilla extract (1½ tsp) and whisk into the cream & white chocolate mixture until combined and thick
14. Remove the tin from the fridge and add the cheesecake mixture
15. Use a small palette knife or the back of a spoon to smooth the top (you’ll need to push it down to avoid air bubbles before smoothing)
16. Refrigerate until the cheesecake has set
17. About 30 minutes before you want to serve your cheesecake check it has set
18. If it’s looking a little soft move it to the freezer for the remaining time to set completely before serving
19. When you’re ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin
