If there’s four words that go together so well, it’s ‘Cadbury Caramel Egg Cheesecake’. This yummy dessert tastes as good as it sounds. It has a base of Cadbury chocolate digestives topped off with chopped Cadbury Eggs so what’s not to love.
Ingredients For Cadbury Caramel Egg Cheesecake
Biscuit Base
- 300g/10oz Cadbury’s milk chocolate biscuits (you can also use dark chocolate biscuits
- 100g/3.5oz Melted unsalted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 750g/26.5oz of full fat cream cheese (Philadelphia or Mascarpone works well)
- 100g/3.5oz of icing sugar, sieved
- 300ml of double cream
- 2tsp of vanilla extract
- 150g/5.5oz of easter egg, roughly chopped
Topping
- 250ml of double cream
- 2 tablespoons of icing sugar
- Chocolate, grated
- Cadbury Caramel eggs, chopped
Method
For the Base
- Blitz the Biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, or with a rolling pin in a food bag.
- Melt the butter so its liquid, and mix in with the Biscuits. I usually do this in the Food Processor and blitz again.
- Press the Biscuit mixture into the bottom of an 8″/20cm Springform Deep Tin, and refrigerate/freeze while you make the filling.
For the Cheesecake
- Add the Cream Cheese to a Large Bowl, or Stand Mixer with the Icing Sugar and the Vanilla and whisk until it’s smooth. I use my K mix with its balloon whisk attachment, or you could use a hand held electric whisk.
- Whisk on a medium speed, until the sugar is mixed into the cream cheese, and the ingredients are evenly distributed. This usually takes around 15-25 seconds.
- Add in the double cream, and whisk the mixture till it comes together and becomes thick.
- I usually mix it on medium, It’s best to under whisk rather than over whisk. If in doubt, whisk a little, and then mix with a spatula to finish off.
- Add the chopped chocolate and stir in until evenly mixed
- Once whisked, add the Cheesecake mixture to the top of the biscuit base, and set it in the fridge for 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
The Topping
- Whisk together the Double Cream and Icing Sugar until it’s thick enough to pipe
- Top the cream topping with Cadbury caramel eggs chopped and grated chocolate then serve.
- Grate the chocolate over the top to finish off, your cheesecake is now finished.
