Malteser Cheescake !


This quick and easy Cheesecake recipe is my favourite method of all the ones I have learned over the years. Ive used whipped egg whites before which made a very light cake and also used gelatin leaves to help hold the shape of the mix before. I don't have a sweet tooth but if I'm going to overload on a dessert other than cheese and biscuits then I probably would end up with a plate full of Cheesecake !

OK you will need a cake tin probably about 20 cm across.
250 grams of digestive biscuits.
130 grams of melted butter.
250 grams of Mascarpone
250 grams of Cream cheese
250 grams of whipped Double cream
125 grams of caster sugar
As many as u want of Malteser's which have been bashed up or crumbled into pieces its up to u how many u want to use.



Ok first make the base. Melt your butter and blitz in a processor or bash with a rolling pin your biscuits. Mix the butter into the biscuits and combine well. Then transfer the mix and spread out to cover the surface of your greased cake tin. Make sure you press it firmly with the back of a spoon to compact it together. Transfer the tin to the fridge and allow to set for about an hour. The base is dependent on you really as some people like a thin base others a nice thick biscuit base so add more biscuits if you want or less adjusting the amount of melted butter accordingly ! You also need to make sure you coat the biscuits well with the butter otherwise it will just break up when u cut into it.



Right while that is setting in the fridge you can start your filling.In a bowl whip your double cream until you have nice light soft peaks.


In your processor or in a bowl combine the Mascarpone, Cream cheese and sugar and then mix it into the the bowl containing the cream. Next add the bashed Maltesers I used about 4 of the small mini packets but its up to you.
When the base has firmed up after about an hour pour in the filling and push it out into the corners so you don't have any air pocket gaps around the edge of your cake. Sprinkle some more malteser pieces on top of the cake for decoration and place into the fridge for 2 hours for it so set.


And there you have it ! Quick and simple and very Moorish. I have just poured some melted chocolate on top to as it didn't seem to have enough calories already ha ha .......enjoy !
