How to make Caramilk Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 250g Butternut Snap biscuits
- 100g butter, melted
- 360g Caramilk chocolate
- 600ml thickened cream
Directions:
First things first, grab a trusty 20cm springform tin and give it a good grease before lining the base and sides with baking paper. This ensures our cheesecake releases easily after setting. In your food processor, blitz those Butternut Snap biscuits into a fine crumb—think sand at the beach. Add the melted butter to the crumbs, and pulse it just enough to combine. Pour this heavenly mixture into your prepared tin and press it down firmly to create an even layer in the base. Now, it’s time to let this beauty chill in the refrigerator while we prepare the filling.
Next up, melt that glorious Caramilk chocolate carefully, allowing it to cool slightly so it doesn’t rush things. In a separate bowl, whisk the thickened cream until it’s thick and fluffy; we want it to hold its shape like a good southern belle. Now, fold in the melted Caramilk chocolate gently; it’s like bringing together old friends who have a lot to say. Pour this rich mixture over the biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula. Pop it back in the fridge for at least an hour to set. When it’s finally time to serve, remove it from the tin, slice, and consider adding a dollop of whipped cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent!
How to serve Caramilk Chocolate Cheesecake
This cheesecake shines on its own, but serving it with some fresh berries adds a lovely contrast of flavors and a splash of color. Consider a side of whipped cream for that irresistible creamy touch. It’s the perfect centerpiece for any gathering—warm the heart and satisfy the sweet tooth.
How to store Caramilk Chocolate Cheesecake
Once you’ve enjoyed a slice (or two!), cover the remaining cheesecake with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about 3 to 4 days, though I bet it won’t last that long—who could resist such a treat?

It’s best to refrigerate it for at least one hour, but letting it set for longer will yield an even firmer texture.
