INGREDIENT NOTES
These are some of the key ingredients for this recipe. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Daims: I use mini Daim bars for this cheesecake, making them easy to blend and to decorate with on top of the cheesecake. They can be found in any major supermarkets
- Cream cheese: It's important that it's full-fat cream cheese. Use it straight out of the fridge.
- Heavy cream: The heavy cream is whipped up to a very stiff peak but be careful not to whip it into butter. It'll take about 2-3 minutes on medium/high speed.
- Milk chocolate: The milk chocolate is made into a ganache that goes on top of the cheesecake.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS - CRUST
Here is how to make and bake these Daim Cheesecake. This recipe needs a blender and stand mixer or electric hand mixer.
The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.
Prepare a 22 cm spring pan (9 in) lined with parchment paper in the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
STEP 1: Blend 200 g of Daims, that respectively goes into the cookie base and in the cheesecake filling. In a food processor, blend the Digestive cookies until a fine sand-like texture. Melt the butter. Add the melted butter and 50 g of the blended Daims and blend it together with the blended cookies.
STEP 2: Add the cookie crumbs to the baking pan and press the cookie crust down with the bottom of a glass, so it’s well packed together and flattened out. Place it in the freezer while preparing the cheesecake filling.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS - FILLING AND DECORATION
STEP 1: With a hand mixer or in a stand mix using the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese for 1 minute on medium speed. Then add the remaining blended Daim, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and at low speed let it mix until everything is combined.
STEP 2: In another bowl, using the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks.
TIP: Be careful not to whip it to butter, but stiff enough that you should be able to turn over the bowl without the whipped cream moving.
STEP 3: With a rubber spatula gently fold in the whipped cream with the cream cheese. Add the cheesecake filling into the spring pan and with an offset spatula even it out. Cover the spring pan with cling film and place it in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours.
STEP 4: Move the cheesecake to a serving dish. Add the milk chocolate to a bowl. Heat up the heavy cream to a boil. Pour it over the milk chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Then stir it together until smooth and pour it over the cheesecake and spread it out. Chop 18 mini Daims and sprinkle them around the edge of the cheesecake.
TIP: To cut clean slices, run a sharp knife under the hot tap, dry it off and cut a slice. Repeat for each slice.
EXPERT BAKING TIPS
- Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
- Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.

Do you add the chocolate topping before or after you remove the cheese cake from the springform tin?
Julie Marie
After removing it from the springform tin 🙂

Det ville være dejligt, hvis det kunne være let også at gemme denne opskrift på sin computer, i stedet for at skulle printe den ud.
