Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chocolate biscuits
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 500 grams Full-fat cream cheese
- 120 grams Icing sugar
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 100 grams Shredded coconut
- 100 grams Dark chocolate, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons Gelatin powder
- 40 ml Hot water
- 400 grams Canned cherry pie filling
- 2 bars Chopped Cherry Ripe bars (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Grease and line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Place the chocolate biscuits in a food processor and blitz until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter and mix with the biscuit crumbs until fully combined. Press the mixture evenly into the base of the prepared pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the coconut cream, shredded coconut, and melted dark chocolate to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until combined.
In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in hot water and stir until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the cream cheese mixture. Beat again until well incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.
Once the cheesecake has set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top.
Optional: Garnish with chopped pieces of Cherry Ripe bars for an added touch.
Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy!
