A Cheesecake for Chocoholics

Here at The Pantiles, we love chocolate – so, what better than to pair smooth and creamy Galaxy chocolate with a cheesecake. This recipe is really easy to make and, handily, there’s no baking involved. This means there’s no need to work up a sweat or feel any stress!

Ingredients

For the base:

125g Lotus Biscoff Biscuits

125g Digestives

115g Unsalted Butter (melted)

For the filling:

200g Cream Cheese (room temperature)

300ml Double Cream

200g Galaxy Chocolate (melted)

Grated Chocolate (using a potato peeler)

Alternative garnish (white grated chocolate, sprinkles, nuts, Galaxy Ripple/Galaxy Caramel)

Method

1. Grease the base of a circular loose-bottomed tin with a little butter.
2. Make the base by putting your biscuits in a clear plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them up.
3. Add the biscuits to the melted butter and stir together. Put the mixture in the base of the tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon.
4. Whip the double cream, add the cream cheese and mix it all together. Create a swirl effect by adding the chocolate in last and mixing together lightly. Alternatively, you can mix the chocolate in thoroughly for a light brown, coloured mix.
5. Spoon the mixture onto the biscuit base and smooth.
6. Decorate the cheesecake with your garnish of choice and chill overnight to set.
7. Serve and enjoy!
