Ingredients
For the Base:
- 250 g Digestive Biscuits or Graham Crackers
- 100 g Unsalted Butter melted
For the Filling:
- 600 g Cream Cheese softened (full-fat recommended)
- 100 g Icing Sugar Powdered Sugar
- 300 ml Double Cream Heavy Cream
- 4 x Aero Bars around 36g each, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional Toppings:
- Extra Aero Bar pieces
- Chocolate shavings
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Crush the Biscuits: Place the digestive biscuits in a large resealable bag and crush them into fine crumbs.
- Mix the Base: In a bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter. Mix well until evenly coated.
- Press into the Tin: Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a 20cm (8-inch) springform tin. Use the back of a spoon to create an even and compact layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Combine and Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Add the vanilla extract and the chopped Aero bars. Mix until well combined but avoid overmixing.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the filling over the biscuit base, spreading it evenly. Cover the tin with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Decorate and Serve: Once the cheesecake is set, carefully remove it from the springform tin. Decorate with extra Aero bar pieces, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream. Slice and serve!
Notes
- Softened Cream Cheese: Essential for a smooth filling.
- Chilling Time: Don't rush it! Longer chilling time results in a better set.
- Gentle Folding: Avoid deflating the whipped cream by folding gently.
- Springform Tin: A must-have for easy cheesecake removal.
- For an even more delicious base, add a shot of espresso to it or use digestive biscuits with chocolate
