Milkybar cheesecake sliced into slices on a white wooden board.

Decadent no-bake Milkybar cheesecake with mascarpone

This easy Milkybar cheesecake recipe is delectably rich, velvety smooth and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. We use mascarpone cheese along with cream cheese and a generous amount of Milkybar chocolate. This combination makes the cheesecake extra rich and creamy, but also firm enough to hold it's shape when cutting.

Equipment

  • 1 23cm springform baking tin

Ingredients

For the base

  • 250 grams shortbread biscuits
  • 80 grams unsalted butter - melted

For the cheesecake filling

  • 350 grams Milkybar chocolate
  • 200 grams double cream - fridge cold
  • 250 grams mascarpone cheese - room temperature
  • 400 grams soft cream cheese - room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar

Instructions

To make the base

  • Using a food processor, whizz the shortbread biscuits into a fine crumb.
    You can also place the biscuits in a strong plastic bag and crush them into a fine crumb with a rolling pin.
  • Melt the butter until it turns into a liquid, either in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove.
  • Add the melted butter to the biscuit crumbs and blend them together using the food processor.
    If you are doing this by hand, transfer the crumbs from the bag into a bowl and use a fork to mix and incorporate the melted butter evenly.
  • To make a parchment paper circle for the base of a 23cm springform tin, place the tin down on a piece of parchment paper.
    Trace the shape of the tin's base with a pencil or pen. Cut out the traced circle and place it in the bottom of the tin.
  • Pour the biscuit mixture into the tin and use the back of a spoon or the flat bottom of a glass to press it down and create an even layer.
  • Place the tin in the fridge while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

To make the cheesecake filling

  • Break the Milkybar chocolate into smaller pieces and place it in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval. Repeat until the chocolate has completely melted.
    Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate on the stove using a double boiler method. Place the chocolate in a metal or glass bowl that sits on top of a pot with simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir the chocolate continuously until it melts.
  • Set aside the melted Milkybar chocolate to cool slightly while you continue with the rest of the filling.
  • Whip the fridge-cold double cream until soft peaks form.
  • In a separate large bowl, whip together the room temperature mascarpone, cream cheese, vanilla extract and icing sugar until well combined.
  • Add the whipped double cream to the mascarpone mixture and continue whisking on a medium speed until you have a medium-firm texture.
  • Add the melted white chocolate and whisk briefly until mostly combined. Give it a final stir by hand and scrape down the sides as you do so.
  • Spoon the mixture over the top of the butter shortbread base and smooth with the back of a spoon.
  • For an extra smooth surface on your cheesecake, dip the spoon into a bowl of freshly boiled water, wipe the spoon dry and gently smooth over the top of the cheesecake.
  • Place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 6 hours to set, ideally overnight.
  • Before releasing the clip on the springform tin, use a long knife or palette knife to carefully slide between the cheesecake and the sides of the tin.
    This step helps to ensure a clean and smooth release, preventing the cheesecake from sticking to the sides and avoiding any uneven or jagged edges.
