Instructions:
-
Prepare the base:
-
Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan) or 320°F (280°F fan).
-
Blitz the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
-
In a bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until combined.
-
Press the mixture into the base of a springform cake tin (around 20cm/8 inches in diameter) to form a solid base.
-
Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
-
-
Prepare the filling:
-
Melt the Milkybar chocolate gently by breaking it into pieces and placing it in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler.
-
Once melted, add a few tablespoons of milk to make it smooth and slightly thinner.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the icing sugar, double cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
-
Slowly add the melted Milkybar chocolate and continue mixing until the filling is smooth and well incorporated.
-
-
Assemble the cheesecake:
-
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled base and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Place the cheesecake in the fridge and let it chill for at least 4-6 hours, or ideally overnight, to set properly.
-
-
Decorate and serve:
-
Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform tin.
-
Decorate the top with additional Milkybar chocolate, either shaved, chopped into chunks, or in the form of white chocolate chips.
-
Slice and enjoy!

This Milkybar cheesecake is creamy, smooth, and the perfect combination of chocolate and cheesecake flavors!
