Method
To Make the Cheesecake Base:
- Melt the butter in the microwave in short bursts, or in a small saucepan over medium heat until fully melted.
- Place the biscuits in a food processor and blend until they form fine crumbs. Or use a Thermomix for blending. Add the melted butter and pulse a few times until the mixture is well combined.
- Transfer to mixture to an 8-inch (20cm) deep springform pan and press it down firmly to create an even base.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
To Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- Melt the Kinder chocolate or Lindt in the microwave using short bursts, stirring between each one until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment in place, to beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
- Pour in the melted chocolate and mix again until the mixture is fully incorporated and creamy.
- In a separate bowl whip whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture continue whipping until the mixture thickens to a mouse-like consistency. It should become thick enough to hold its shape. If using a stand mixer I used speed 6/10. It won't take too long as the chocolate will harden quickly and cause it to thicken.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture onto the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
To Decorate the Cheesecake:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
- Pipe whipped cream (made from whipping cream and icing sugar) around the edges.
- Add a piece of Kinder Bueno to each slice and finish with chocolate sprinkles for extra decoration.
Notes
- For the best texture, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smooth and creamy filling.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight so it sets properly.
- You can substitute biscuits with graham crackers or chocolate cookies for the crust.
- This cheesecake can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
