Method
- Begin by crushing your digestive biscuits into a fine crumb.
- Melt your butter in the microwave, heating it in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Then, pour the melted butter over the crushed biscuits and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the biscuit mixture into your 8-inch cheesecake tin, ensuring to spread and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a smooth and even layer.
- Place the tin in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- Melt your white chocolate and set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually fold in the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the chocolate is well combined, add the double cream and continue mixing until the mixture thickens to a smooth consistency.
- Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base in the cheesecake tin, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a level surface.
- Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and allow it to set for a minimum of 5-6 hours, ideally overnight, to ensure it firms up properly.
- Before serving, feel free to decorate your cheesecake in any way you desire. Let your creativity shine!
Recipe Tips
The use of full-fat Philadelphia cream cheese truly elevated this recipe to new heights. While I opted for Milky Bar chocolate, any white chocolate will seamlessly meld into the velvety texture of the cheesecake. Finish it off with a decadent swirl of cream, fresh raspberries, and chocolate buttons for an irresistible treat that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight!
