Ingredients
Scale
- 18.5 KitKats (18 doubles, one single)
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 500 g full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
- 75 g icing sugar
- 300 ml double cream
- 125 g milk chocolate
- 125 g dark chocolate
- 150 ml double cream
- 150 g dark chocolate
- KitKat Bites/KitKats
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush the digestives into fine crumbs and melt the unsalted butter. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the base of your cake tin to form an even layer. Break and arrange 18 KitKat bars around the inside edge of the tin to create a wall that will hold the cheesecake filling.
- In separate bowls, melt the milk chocolate and dark chocolate using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whip 300 ml double cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently. Gradually fold in the melted milk and dark chocolates until the mixture is evenly combined and glossy.
- Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling into the biscuit base, spreading evenly within the KitKat wall. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
- Heat 150 ml double cream until just simmering, then pour over 150 g chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly but still pourable.
- Pour the ganache over the set cheesecake filling, spreading it out evenly. Refrigerate again until the ganache is firm.
- Once fully set, top the cheesecake with KitKat bites or KitKats arranged on top, and sprinkle with your choice of colorful sprinkles for a fun and festive look.
- Carefully slice the cheesecake into 15 slices and serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
