No-Bake KitKat Cheesecake 🍫🍰
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 2 cups digestive biscuit crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup KitKat bars, chopped (plus extra for topping)
For the Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Additional KitKat bars, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the digestive biscuit crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
7. Fold in the chopped KitKat bars, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
8. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set. For best results, chill overnight.
Add Toppings:
10. Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream (if using) and sprinkle additional chopped KitKat bars on top.
Serve:
11. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
