Ingredients

  • 24 Mini Malteser bunnies (see notes)
  • 200 g Malted Milk biscuits
  • 100 g Butter, melted
  • 500 g Full-fat cream cheese
  • 75 g Icing sugar (use an extra 25g if you want it sweeter)
  • 4 Tablespoons Malt drink powder (I used Horlicks)
  • ½ Teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 200 ml Double cream

Topping

  • 200 g Milk chocolate
  • 120 ml Double cream
  • 50 g Maltesers

Instructions

  • Line the base of an 8-inch springform tin with baking paper then clip the base and sides together.
  • Place the mini Malteser Bunnies around the edges of the tin, with the flat sides facing inwards.
  • Crush the biscuits into very fine crumbs then stir in the melted butter. Press this mixture into the base of your lined tin.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, icing sugar and malt powder. Add the double cream and use an electric whisk or stand mixer to whip everything up until thick.
  • Spoon the filling over the biscuit base in the tin and spread it out evenly.

Topping:

  • Melt the milk chocolate and double cream together over low heat then set it aside for 20-25 minutes, until it's cool to the touch.
  • Once cool, give it a good mix then spread it over the cheesecake.
  • Top with Maltesers then refrigerate overnight to set.
  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin then cut into slices and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To save on costs, you can just decorate the top with a few Malteser bunnies instead.
