No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

Last weekend, I invited a few friends over for a drink and a catch up but unfortunately I was ill. They all turned up but I didn’t get chance to take many photos. I made this super easy cheesecake that does not require baking. All you need to do is mix!

I have used Oreo biscuits for the base and it can get quite sweet. If you prefer less sweet, replace it with digestive biscuits instead. To make the base, I always use these measurements in these proportions: 100g of biscuits mixed with 50g of melted butter.  This is what I used for my no bake Chocolate Cheesecake.

Ingredients:

• 300g Oreo biscuits (around 2 packets)
• 150g butter, melt
• 80g Philadelphia with Cadbury
• 160g Philadelphia soft cream cheese
• 250g Galbani Mascarpone cheese
• 4 tablespoons icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons vanilla bean paste

Methods:

1. As I don’t have a blender at home, I put all the Oreo biscuits into a zip lock bag and crushed them with a rolling pin. Once they are well crushed, add the melted butter into the bag. Mix well.
2. Tip out the Oreo paste on to the tray and smooth the surface with the back of the spoon.
3. Place it in the fridge for 5 minutes.
4. Mix the cream cheese, mascarpone, icing sugar and paste until it blends well.
5. Place the cheese on top of the Oreo base. Place it in the fridge for a few hours before you pipe the Philadelphia with Cadbury on top. I have made the strips using OXO’s new bakers 8 piece silicone decorating set.  They are available to buy from Amazon.

All my friends loved this cheesecake and would love to have more slices! Luckily, I saved one for myself to take this photo! If you have followed me on Instagram, you may have seen the uncut cheesecake!
