Food for Thought; Toblerone Cheesecake

Well another week another sweet craving!  And another afternoon to fill with the toddler terror, so once again we took to baking. 

Now those of you who follow me on Facebook may have seen I shared this tasty treat that has been shared over and over again on there from Alisons Pampered Chef's. 

I mean, what is not to love?

Bourbon biscuits.....good.

Cheesecake.....good.

Toblerone.....goooooooooooood.

So once again we donned the Gruffalo Apron, first showcased on the blog here (and available here) to head to the kitchen to make us a sweet treat!

Now, I did mess around with the original recipe, reducing the amounts I used so the cheesecake would fit a 6" spring bottomed tin.  And replacing caster sugar with icing sugar.  Now if I had the inclination to head the shop I would have also replaced half of the cream cheese with marscapone.  But I didn't.  And it still worked pretty good with just cream cheese.

Ingredients

200g bourbon biscuits

75g butter

300g cream cheese (or 150g cream cheese, 150g marscapone)

100g icing sugar

200ml double cream

150g toblerone

How we did it:

1. Grease and line a 6" spring form tin

2. Crush biscuits in food processor

what actually happened; toddler sneaking biscuits into his mouth instead

3. Melt butter and add crushed bourbans

4. Push the biscuit mix into the pre-prepared tin.  Press down, then pop into the fridge while you get on with the cheese part

5. Beat the cream cheese until soft

6. Sift icing sugar into the cream cheese and mix thoroughly

Then of course....taste it

7. Whisk cream to soft peaks

8. Fold cream into cheese and sugar mix

9. Melt the toblerone and add to the cheese mix, stir until all incorporated

10. Pour onto the base, cover and chill in the fridge until required (I gave it a couple of hours)

11. Lick the bowl.....

Finished Toblerone Cheesecake

Its delicious.  But be warned it didn't last long in our house....

I also think you could replace the toblerone with your favourite chocolate bar, I have previously tried crushed malteasers which worked a treat.  And next step is Daim bars!!!
