Malteser Cheesecake

~ cozebakes ~ 2 Comments

Cheesecakes always seem to be a crowd pleaser. They look so impressive when revealed with the high cream cheese mixture sitting on a buttery base. I’m a fan of the no bake cheesecake. I prefer the texture and taste and they are great to make ahead and keep in the fridge till needed. What’s more, they are so easy to make and yet look so good!

This little beauty just raises the bar a bit with the a secret ingredient which lifts the delicious malty taste to another level. Is there anyone who doesn’t love Maltesers? Anyone?? No, didn’t think so 🙂

Lime & Coconut Macaroon Cheesecake – Gluten Free

~ cozebakes ~ Leave a comment

I always think of hot summer days with this dessert. It’s got the perfect combination of two ingredients which just scream “summer”!  I saw John Whaite make the recipe on a show one afternoon and thought, yes that’s my type of dessert and the fact it’s gluten free is an added bonus.

Using lime curd with the cream cheese gives just the right balance of sweetness and tartness for the filling. Using melted marshmallows with the coconut for the base is a stroke of genius!

Oh what can I say about this totally delicious and lemony cheesecake? Are there enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe the sharp yet sweet heavenly taste? Not sure but it’s a smooth and fresh tasting cheesecake and very easy to make. It uses lemon jelly as the setting agent.

I doubled up the base from the original recipe as I felt it was too thin and I used Hob Nob biscuits for a change from digestives which also meant that I didn’t add any sugar to the base ingredients – always a good thing 😉 Also don’t be tempted to use jelly granules here – use the good old squares of jelly for a perfect result.

Chocolate Filled No Bake Cheesecake

I originally made this cheesecake with crème eggs as they were available in the shops at the time. I had found a mixed pack of mini eggs with different fillings such as the original Crème Egg, Oreo Eggs, Galaxy Eggs …. you get the idea. So if you want to make this and the magic eggs have disappeared, just replace them. You could buy a box of Heroes or Celebrations and use them instead so people get a different taste with each bite 🙂  It makes the cheesecake fun and interesting!

Rolo Caramel Cheesecake

A delicious, creamy dessert packed full of Rolos. It’s a no bake cheesecake so best to make it the day before you need it and let it set overnight in the fridge. They are a great dessert as you can make them well in advance which leaves you time for other things. I would recommend you leave it in the tin as long as you can as it doesn’t set totally solid like a baked cheesecake. It’s a little soft but just so gorgeous that it’s only a teeny issue.
