  • 3 tsp gelatine powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Process the chocolate biscuits and walnuts until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Add the dates and coconut oil, and process until well combined.
  3. Grease a deep 20cm springform pan and firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Filling
  1. While the cream cheese softens, chop the Maltesers in half and set aside.
  2. Beat the cream cheese and caster sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
  3. Add the thickened cream and mix until creamy.
  4. Combine gelatine powder with the boiling water in a jug until dissolved.
  5. Add the gelatine mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix on medium speed until well incorporated.
  6. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of boiling water until smooth.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate and the chopped Maltesers into the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
Assembly
  1. Pour the filling mixture over the chilled base in the springform pan.
  2. Add any extra Maltesers on top for decoration if desired.
  3. Refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours, or overnight until set.
Serving
  1. Bring the cheesecake out of the fridge about 20 minutes before slicing to soften.
  2. Slice with a hot, clean knife for neat wedges, and serve with extra Maltesers.
  3. Optionally serve with a small spoonful of whipped cream or a light dusting of cocoa.

Notes

Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for a silkier filling. Press the base firmly for clean slices. Use a knife dipped in hot water for perfect slices. Taste the filling before setting to adjust sweetness.
