Ingredients
Scale
- 250g Digestive Biscuits (for the base)
- 100g Unsalted Butter, melted (for the base)
- 500g Cream Cheese, full-fat, softened
- 100g Icing Sugar, sifted
- 300ml Double Cream
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 100g Milk Chocolate, melted (for the topping)
- 12 Kit Kat bars (for decoration and within)
Instructions
- Step 1: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
- Step 2: Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a 20cm springform tin, ensuring it's evenly distributed and tightly packed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture along with the vanilla extract. Chop 6 Kit Kat bars and gently fold them into the cheesecake filling.
- Step 5: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
- Step 6: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform tin. Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the top of the cheesecake. Decorate with the remaining 6 Kit Kat bars, cut into pieces, around the edge of the cheesecake.
Notes
- For optimal enjoyment, store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
- Since it's a no-bake recipe, reheating isn't applicable; just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a slightly softer texture.
- Serve chilled slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat that perfectly complements the Kit Kat flavors.
- Chef's tip: Make sure your cream cheese is properly softened to avoid lumps in the filling, resulting in a smoother, more luxurious cheesecake.
