For topping one 6–8 inch cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 100g (3.5 oz / ~⅓ cup) caramelised biscuit spread (smooth or crunchy)
- 50g (1.75 oz / ~3 tbsp) white chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 30ml (2 tbsp) double cream
- 2–3 caramelised biscuits, crushed into small chunks (not fine crumbs) – if you are using crunchy biscuit spread, you can omit this
Instructions:
- Make the Ganache Base:
- In a small heatproof bowl, combine the caramelised biscuit spread, white chocolate, and double cream.
- Microwave in short 15–20 second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. (Alternatively, melt over a bowl set on a pan of simmering water.)
- Add the Crunch (if using a Smooth spread) :
- Stir in the crushed caramelised biscuits while the ganache is still warm but not hot. You want small chunks for crunch, not powder.
- Cool Slightly:
- Let the ganache cool for 5–10 minutes until it thickens slightly but is still pourable/spreadable.
- Top the Cheesecake:
- Pour or spread the ganache over the chilled cheesecake. Use a spatula to gently push it toward the edges.
- Optionally, top with extra caramelised biscuit chunks or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
- Chill to Set:
- Place the cheesecake back in the fridge for 30–60 minutes to let the ganache firm up before serving.
Tips:
- For a firmer topping, use less cream (20ml / 1½ tbsp).
- For a glossier, softer finish, use more cream (up to 40ml / 3 tbsp).
- You can double the batch for extra layering or to drip down the sides of a taller cake.
