No-bake Chocolate
Button Cheese Cake Recipe
Here is all you need to know to make a chocolate button cake without needing an oven.
What you will need
For the Biscuit Base
- 300g of Digestives
- 150g Unsalted Butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 600g full-fat soft cream cheese
- 100g icing sugar
- 300ml double cream
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 300g Chocolate buttons (chopped up)
Decoration
- 150 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 50 g melted milk chocolate
- 100-200 g Chocolate Buttons
1. Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, or mash them up in a bag/bowl and add the melted butter – pulse a few times until it is combined well.
Tip into an 8″/20cm Deep Springform Tin and press down firmly. Chill in the refrigerator whilst you do the rest!
In a large bowl, add the full-fat soft cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract – whisk until smooth.
Once whisked, pour in the double cream and continue to whip the mixture until it is lovely and thick – alternatively you can whip the cream separately until thick and fold through the cream cheese mixture.
Once its thick, fold through the chopped-up chocolate buttons. Spread onto the biscuit base and spread evenly. Leave to set in the fridge, covered, for 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin, and drizzle over some melted chocolate.
Decorate with some whipped cream… Whip together the double cream & icing sugar and pipe on in swirls! Add a chocolate button per slice, and sprinkle over some chocolate buttons.
