KitKat Cheesecake
No bake cheesecakes are so easy to make and always very well received. My bestie especially loves it when we take one round for dessert after dinner at her place, meaning she can polish off the leftovers (with the help of her five-year-old daughter). Now, I’ve finally made a no bake KitKat cheesecake recipe.
KitKats are one of my favourite milk chocolate bars ever – chunky or four-finger – I don’t mind. Even two-finger KitKats are OK – but they are smaller, which is definitely a minus point. Anyway, a KitKat cheesecake recipe was inevitable at some point! No baking was a requirement, as was little prep time.
Chopped up KitKats in creamy cheesecake with a hint of vanilla and a buttery biscuit base – Gregg Wallace eat your heart out. Being such a KitKat fan, this recipe melted mine. Dessert recipes don’t get much better – or easier. Now please excuse me, I really must have a KitKat. Right now! No other food will do…

How to make KitKat cheesecake
- Grease a springform tin, then process the biscuits until they are fine crumbs. Melt the butter ( I do this in the microwave, checking often) and mix the two together, then press into the base of the tin. Pat them down with a rolling pin to get an even, firm layer, then chill for at least an hour.
- Using a large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon, beat together all the filling ingredents except the KitKat. Add this last, once they are combined.
- Spoon this mixture over the chilled base, then smooth the top with a silcone spatula. Run a palette knife around the edge – this makes the cheesecake easier to remove later.
- Chill for about two hours before decorating as you wish, then refrigerate again before serving.
