📝 Ingredients for Milkybar Cheesecake
Let’s break down the layers of deliciousness:
🧱 Biscuit Base:
- 300g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers, if you’re in the US)
- 150g unsalted butter, melted
🧁 White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
- 300g Milkybar white chocolate (roughly two standard 150g bars)
- 500g full-fat cream cheese (e.g., Philadelphia)
- 100g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300ml double cream (heavy whipping cream)
🍦 Topping & Decoration:

- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- White chocolate curls, shavings, or chopped Milkybar chunks

👩🍳 How to Make Milkybar Cheesecake (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Create the Base
- Crush the biscuits into a fine crumb using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and bashing with a rolling pin.
- Stir the melted butter through until all the crumbs are coated.
- Press the mixture into the base of a 9-inch springform tin. Use a measuring cup or the back of a spoon to compact and level it.
- Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Melt the Milkybar
- Break Milkybar into small chunks and place in a heatproof bowl.
- Melt gently over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave (in 15–20 second bursts), stirring regularly.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes—you want it still liquid but not hot.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly pour in the melted (but cooled) Milkybar and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture. Use a spatula and slow movements to maintain the light, airy texture.
Step 4: Assemble and Chill
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the chilled biscuit base.
- Smooth the surface with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, to ensure the perfect set.
Step 5: Decorate and Serve
- Whip the remaining cream with icing sugar until it holds soft peaks.
- Pipe or spread over the top of the cheesecake.
- Garnish with curls of white chocolate, crushed Milkybar chunks, or edible decor of your choice.
💡 Expert Tips for Milkybar Cheesecake Success
- Always use full-fat cream cheese: Low-fat versions can result in a runny filling.
- Let the chocolate cool slightly before mixing: Too hot, and it can split your cream cheese mixture.
- Chill long enough: No shortcuts here. Let the filling set properly.
- Use a springform tin: Essential for easy release and clean presentation.
🍋 Flavour Variations: Inspired by Jane’s Patisserie
Want to play around with cheesecake flavours? Channel your inner patisserie chef with these twists:
1. Milkybar Lemon Cheesecake
Add zest of one lemon and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the filling. This adds a zesty edge to balance the sweetness.
2. Milkybar Oreo Cheesecake
Swap the digestive base for crushed Oreos. Fold in Oreo crumbs to the filling for a cookies-and-cream explosion.
3. Caramilk Cheesecake Style
Use Caramilk instead of Milkybar. It adds a caramelized white chocolate flavor that pairs beautifully with a Biscoff base.
4. Vegan Boutique Patisserie Version
Use vegan cream cheese (like Violife), dairy-free whipping cream, and vegan white chocolate. It will still taste luxurious with a slightly lighter texture.
5. Berry Swirl Cheesecake
Before chilling, swirl in a few spoonfuls of raspberry or strawberry compote for a tart, fruity contrast.
