Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g shortcake biscuits
- 75 g unsalted butter, melted
- 500 g full-fat cream cheese
- 75 g icing sugar
- 300 ml double or heavy cream
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce or dulce de leche
- 100 g milk chocolate
- 100 ml double cream (for ganache)
- 4 tbsp caramel sauce (for topping)
- 4 Twix fingers, chopped
Instructions
- Crush the shortcake biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or place in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until combined, then press the mixture into the base of an 8-inch springform tin lined with greaseproof paper. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth using a stand mixer or hand whisk.
- Add the double cream and whisk until thick and spreadable.
- Gently fold in the caramel sauce until well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top.
- For the ganache, heat the 100 ml double cream until simmering and pour over the chopped milk chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the cheesecake, then drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce and scatter chopped Twix bars on top.
- Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese and double cream for best texture. Chill the base well before adding the filling to ensure a firm crust. The ganache topping can be replaced with melted chocolate if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge and consume within 3 days.
