Easy Cheesecake Recipes

Ok so I have put together 2 yummy cheesecake recipes and thought I would share them. They work every time and require very little effort which is definitely a bonus especially if you are a busy  bee like me!  I hope you enjoy them!




Serves 6
200g of ginger or digestive biscuits
100g of unsalted butter (melted )
400g of cream cheese
200g of white chocolate
100ml of cream ( I use single or whipping)
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1 tablespoon of icing sugar
30ml of Mozart White Chocolate liqueur

Grease a cake tin with butter or you can make them as single pots as per the picture. (I sometimes make them in little pots and simply eat the cheesecakes out of the pots).

Put the biscuits in a food processor  and blitz until you have fine crumbs.  Pour in the melted butter and process until everything is mixed through. Push the biscuit base into the cake tin  and chill in the fridge.

Slowly melt the  chocolate in a bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Meanwhile, put the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and then add the melted chocolate, cream, vanilla essence, liqueur  and sugar. Beat all the ingredients together until you get a nice light mixture.

Put the cream cheese mix into the tin smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

NOTE :  The combination of ginger and white chocolate works very well together.
