Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham crackers
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 600 grams Cream cheese
- 150 grams Powdered sugar
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Ribbon chocolate bars (chopped, e.g., Kit Kat or Twix)
- 10 grams Gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Water (for gelatin)
- 50 grams Chocolate shavings or additional ribbon bars (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter over low heat and combine it thoroughly with the graham cracker crumbs.
Press the mixture into the base of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan, smoothing out evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. Then gently heat it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until fully dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand or stand mixer. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to keep the filling light and airy.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cheesecake filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Chop the ribbon chocolate bars into small pieces. Reserve a handful for topping, and gently fold the rest into the cheesecake mixture, creating a ribbon-like swirl throughout the filling.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Smooth out the top and scatter the reserved chocolate bar pieces or optional garnish (e.g., chocolate shavings) over the surface.
Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set.
Once set, gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
