Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g digestive biscuits
- 75 g unsalted butter, melted
- 300 g cream cheese, softened
- 150 g Stilton cheese, crumbled
- 150 ml double cream
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp gelatin powder
- 2 tbsp warm water
- 30 g chopped walnuts (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Grease and line the base of a 20cm (8-inch) springform pan with parchment paper.
Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand and press it firmly into the base of the prepared pan to form an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and crumbled Stilton cheese together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks and fold it gently into the cheese mixture.
Dissolve the gelatin powder in warm water, stirring until completely dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly before mixing it into the cheese mixture along with the honey.
Pour the cheese mixture over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it out evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Cover the cheesecake with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate.
Optionally, garnish with chopped walnuts and fresh thyme leaves for added texture and flavor before serving.
