Maltesers cheesecake with Malteser spread

This is where you can get creative. Prepare the cheesecake as you normally would. Just add the Malteser spread on the top layer. For those of you who don't know what a Maltesers spread is, you can click right here. The spread adds even more sweetness and a subtle crunch. 

Baileys and Maltesers cheesecake recipe

Here is a way to booze up your Maltesers cheesecake. Remember, this is a no-bake cheesecake, so the alcohol won't burn off. This makes it an adults-only dessert. This involves adding roughly 125ml (½ cup) of Baileys liqueur into your cheese mixture.

Hold off on the vanilla essence and let the Baileys do the magic for you. Are you willing to make a Baileys version?

Nutella and Maltesers cheesecake recipe

Naturally, you can also experiment with the cheese filling by adding even more chocolate to it. To be more specific, you can add 2 spoonfuls of Nutella for nice notes of hazelnut.

Of course, some might argue that this may be taking it to the extreme, but why not? Who doesn't love Maltesers and Nutella? 

how to make cream cheese frosting

If you are looking for ways to spruce up this Maltesers cheesecake and make it even more tempting, then I've got just the thing! You can add an exterior layer of cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese frosting is the essential component to making those beautifully decorated cakes. 

If you opt for adding this cream cheese frosting as an exterior layer to your Maltesers cheesecake, there are a few things you will need to do.

First, once you finish your Maltesers cheesecake, place it in the freezer for a couple of minutes – a good 20-30 minutes should do. This will solidify the exterior.

how to decorate a no-bake cheesecake

I love Maltesers. The best part is, you can use these little milk chocolate spheres to decorate your Maltesers cheesecake.

First of all, place as much of the candy (spheres) on top the cheesecake as you like. You can do it in a coordinated way or completely at random.

Some people go all the way and cover the entire top of the cheesecake with Maltesers. However, although the Malteser cheesecake will look stellar – and there is no doubt it will look anything other than a scrumptious Malteser cheesecake – it's just a bit difficult to cut. So, all in all, very beautiful but quite impractical.

I like the way I decorated my aero mint cheesecake recipe where I've:

• placed the aero mint spheres around the edges of the cheesecake
• crumbled up the spheres into small bits and drizzled them on top of the cheesecake

I find that sort of presentation more than adequate and very appealing. This would be my first option for decorating the Maltesers cheesecake.

On the other hand, you can also experiment with liquid milk chocolate. Swirl it in any shape you wish or just make straight stripes across. You can also use chocolate syrup or soft caramel for this step. 

For a hint of freshness, you may also add berries. However, I believe that the sweeter toppings pair better.

Maltesers cheesecake dessert cups

If you are looking to make a smaller batch in a more refined serving, then serve the Maltesers cheesecake in cups. Very similar to my peppermint crisp tart! My recommendation is to serve in the following method:

1. biscuit base (made with butter) on the bottom of the glass 
2. add the cheesecake filling layer (as thick as you want)
3. place in the fridge and let it set. It will set within 30 min to 45 min because it's smaller
4. add whipped cream (optional)
5. halve a handful of Maltesers and place on top of the cream
6. add grated nuts (0ptional)
7. add the liquid milk chocolate on top or chocolate fudge sauce (optional)

So as you can see, there is nothing different to the actual preparation of the Maltesers cheesecake. The recipe was not adjusted. Just the serving is different.

is cheesecake too sinful?

If you find at any point in time that this recipe might be too sinful for you, then I've got a great alternative. If you wish to cut down on calories, on sugar, or you just fancy a lighter alternative, then consider these:

• equally delicious and stunning sugar free angel food cake
• tasty and really easy to make sugar free apple crisp
• no hassle sugar free flapjacks
• moist and totally sugar free chocolate chip cookies

You can also inspire yourself with this fruity cobbler recipe or these cherry brownies. 

You see? You don't have to deprive yourself of the good stuff. Besides, this Maltesers cheesecake is not sinful. Especially if you opt for a light cream cheese or low-fat cream cheese alternative instead!
