Crunchie Cheesecake
This is one of my favourite easy cheescake recipes. It takes about 20 mins to make, an hour or two to set and it’s ready to go! And because the crunchie chunks sit all snuggled up in the cream, the whole cheesecake gets infused with a super scrummy honeycomb taste. Deeeeelish.
You will need:
- 15 digestive biscuits
- 100g butter
- 2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 300g cream cheese
- 500ml double cream
- 4 crunchies
- 1 flake
- Preheat your oven to 200ºc. Line a deep 8″ cake tin with a circle of baking parchment.
- Now, pop your digestives in a strong ziploc back and bash into oblivion with a rolling pin. If you don’t have the ziplocs or a rolling pin, you can put them in a bowl and thump them into crumbs with a wine bottle. Whatever works for you. You basically want your digestives to turn into fine crumbs.
- Melt your butter and mix it into your biscuit crumbs. If you fancy it, add some cinnamon. I always think it goes really well with digestives.
- Now, press your biscuit mix into your cake tin and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl or a freestanding mixer, whisk up your cream cheese until smooth. Add the cream and beat together until well combined and but not too stiff. You want it to be firm but not stodgy.
- Roughly chop your crunchies and pop them in, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until mixed.
- When the base is cool, pop the creamy crunchie mixture on top and smooth it out with the back of a spoon. Pop in the fridge for a couple of hours to set. When ready to serve, slide a palette knife around the outside and remove from the cake tin. Crush the flake and sprinkle on top just before serving. Enjoy!

@ashleyfryer Yeah I suppose the answer is ‘we invited adults who have self-control and don’t just gorge like animals’. I might struggle!
@TimClarePoet well everyone will definitely leave with a food baby, but that’s part of the amazingness. Let me know when you have it!
@ashleyfryer Did you eat a savoury course first?
@TimClarePoet nah, pudding for dinner is the way forward. The evening is about being indulgent, you can’t go faffing about with dinner.
@ashleyfryer That’s proper hardcore. I like it! I guess you get all the foodgroups in jelly, custard, sponge, chocolate, icing, pecans, etc
@TimClarePoet exactly! You just have to accept that you might gain 10lbs and be done with it. Just don’t host one every week! :)
@TimClarePoet you must have seen the wonderful site called ‘Pimp my Snack’ I challenge you to better the super-Creme Egg!
@Amwgill The super creme egg looks simultaneously amazing and like some sort of ironic punishment.
@TimClarePoet nothing strikes fear into my heart more than the burger that is recreated on that site. Holy Cow…
@Amwgill I once ate a full english breakfast whizzed in a food processor then baked into a loaf.
@TimClarePoet wow! The only way to beat that is 2 make a full English sausage: eggs, beans, hash browns bacon, black pud, between 2 toast?
