Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake with Chocolate Cornflake Clusters (No Bake)

Serves 6 – 8 (Using a 6-inch springform tin)

Ingredients:

  • Base:
  • 180g (approx. 1 ¾ cups) caramelised biscuits
  • 75g (5 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 300g (10.5 oz) full-fat cream cheese, room temp
  • 150ml (⅔ cup) double cream, cold

Instructions:

  1. Make the Base:
    • Crush biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
    • Stir in melted butter until the mix resembles wet sand.
    • Firmly press into the base of your 6-inch springform tin, creating a thick, compact base.
    • Chill while you make the filling.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, chocolate hazelnut spread, vanilla, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
    • In a separate bowl, whip double cream until it forms soft peaks.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate hazelnut mixture until fully combined.
    • Fold in the broken chocolate cornflake clusters for crunch.
  3. Assemble:
    • Spoon the filling over the chilled base.
    • Smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Refrigerate for 6 hours minimum, or overnight, until set.
