Provided by Becky Bowen

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 30m

Yield Serves 12-14

Number Of Ingredients 13

130g butter, melted, plus extra for the tin
300g chocolate digestive biscuits
150g milk chocolate
150g dark chocolate
250g mascarpone
300g cream cheese (don't use a low-fat variety)
50g icing sugar
25g malted milk drink powder (we used Horlicks)
25g hot chocolate powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
300ml double cream
150g Maltesers (100g chopped, 50g whole), plus a handful to decorate
100g chocolate buttons, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Butter and line a 23cm springform cake tin. Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to form fine crumbs, then add the butter and blitz again. Tip the biscuit mixture into the tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
  • In separate bowls, melt the milk and dark chocolate over pans of gently simmering water. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval until melted. Set aside to cool.
  • Use a hand whisk to mix the mascarpone, cream cheese, icing sugar, malted milk drink powder, hot chocolate powder and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream, then fold into the mascarpone mixture. Add half the mixture to each of the chocolate bowls, stirring until well combined. Stir half the chopped Maltesers, whole Maltesers and buttons into the milk chocolate mixture; stir the rest into the dark chocolate mixture.
  • Spoon the dark chocolate mixture onto the biscuit base. Top with the milk chocolate mixture and smooth over the top. Chill overnight. Decorate with Maltesers before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.

  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can make the cheesecake tough.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly.

This vegan chocolate cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a creamy chocolate filling and a graham cracker crust. The cheesecake is topped with a rich chocolate ganache. This cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
