Ingredients

The Biscuit Base

• 200g digestive biscuits (approx 12 whole biscuits)
• 80g unsalted butter, to be melted

The Cheesecake Filling

• 500g cream cheese
• 1 vanilla pod (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• 300ml double cream, to be whipped
• 200g melted white chocolate

The Topping

• 100ml double cream, to be whipped
• 12 Milkybar snowmen or Festive Friends

Instructions

1. First, grease your springform pan with butter, I like to cut out some parchment paper to fit the bottom of my pan as well.
2. Crush the digestive biscuits in a food processor (or bash them in a freezer bag or large bowl with a rolling pin).
3. Melt your butter in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 20 second burst or using a double boiler.
4. Mix the crumbs with melted butter using a wooden spoon until it resembles wet sand.
5. Press the mixture into a springform pan with the back of a spoon to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
6. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese on low speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
7. Add the vanilla extract (or pod seeds).
8. Slowly fold in the melted white chocolate (allow it to cool slightly so it doesn’t seize).
9. In a stand alone mixer, pour in the 300mls of double cream and mix on a medium speed until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold through the whipped double cream with your cream cheese and chocolate mixture until fully combined and velvety.
10. Pour the mix onto the prepared crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
11. Place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 5–6 hours (or overnight for best results).
12. Once set, pipe or spoon 12 little cream swirls around the edge.
13. Add a Milkybar snowman on top of each swirl.
14. Finish with a dusting of icing sugar or maybe a drizzle of raspberry sauce or a few fresh raspberries for a pop of colour.

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• For best texture, serve chilled.
• Avoid freezing, as the cocoa butter in white chocolate can separate.

Top Tips for the Perfect No-Bake Cheesecake

• Use room temperature ingredients as this will ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
• Don’t rush the chilling time! Patience is key as it needs time to firm up properly.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this cheesecake as the centrepiece of your Christmas dessert table or at a cozy dinner party.

I love a simple dusting of icing sugar but you could add a swirl of raspberry sauce for a classic flavour combo, or try grated white chocolate for an extra bit of wow factor.
