At this point, I would like to confess that I’ve never ever liked cheesecakes until I came up with my version of a No Bake Cheesecake about 5 years ago. It’s so different to the usual, BAKED cheesecakes I’d eaten before. Light, fluffy, creamy and bonus, easy to make.

✅ Everyone LOVES this classic.

How to make a White Chocolate Cheesecake:

Make a simple biscuit base with crushed ginger nut biscuits and then top with the deliciously light and creamy filling. This White Chocolate Cheesecake uses whipped double cream, icing sugar, philadelphia (cream cheese) and melted white chocolate.

When the cheesecake is set, decorate with grated white chocolate, swirls of cream and chunks of Milky Bar chocolate.

Ingredients to make a No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake:

Butter – I use unsalted butter for this and just melt it quickly in a mug in the microwave.

Gingernut Biscuits – Gingernut biscuits work really well in this recipe to give an added flavour. You could use another type of ginger biscuit, digestive biscuit, or graham crackers if you’re in the USA. (You may need slightly more butter if you change the biscuit you use).

Cream Cheese – I like to use Philadelphia brand cream cheese for this recipe, I drain off any liquid before using. You can use other brands, but I find they are SLIGHTLY more difficult to combine. Be sure to always use Full Fat Cream Cheese.

Double Cream – Whip this before using until light and holding soft peaks. For this recipe, the cream does not need to be as stiff as some of my other No Bake Cheesecake recipes as the chocolate helps to set the cheesecake.

White Chocolate – I used my favourite Callebaut chocolate for this recipe. This chocolate is just amazing, it melts so well and really makes a difference to any recipe. When you buy it in bulk (1kg bags at a time) from Amazon it works out about the same price as supermarket chocolate. A good investment I think as it really does make SUCH a difference. I do like a chunk of Milky Bar on top though!

Lemon – After you add your lemon juice, taste the mixture in case you think it needs a little more to balance out the sweetness. It’s personal preference.

Vanilla Extract – Be sure to use extract and not essence as it’s the pure, real taste. A little goes a long way.

What I used to make the White Chocolate Cheesecake recipe:

Cake tin – This recipe is for a 7″ tin which is also DEEP (not a standard depth sandwich cake tin, it may overflow). You can use smaller or larger tin or a different shape, but your cheesecake will obviously be taller or shorter. I would DEFINITELY recommend this tin though as it is a great size and very easy to use.

Vegetable peeler – I use these to ‘grate’ a bar of white chocolate to decorate. Really quick and effective and no grating your fingers by accident.

Disposable piping bag –  I know, these are not great for the environment. But using reusable bags takes so much detergent to get them clean, I’m honestly not sure of the best option so I’m still with these at the moment.

Piping Nozzle – I use this piping nozzle all the time, a great all rounder.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS NO BAKE WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE RECIPE:

• The consistency of this no bake cheesecake should be sliceable but not solid. Something like room temperature butter, it will give a little quiver if you wobble it gently.
• White Chocolate Cheesecake too runny and won’t set? It’s probably because your cream wasn’t whipped quite enough. No problem, pop it into the freezer for a few hours before serving.

• Melt your white chocolate by breaking into chunks and microwaving for 30 seconds at a time (no more!) and stirring well in between. It will probably only take 1.5 minutes in total.
• If the melted white chocolate seizes (i.e. goes too thick) add a small amount of vegetable oil and keep stirring until it returns to the correct consistency.

Most important top tip:

• Be SURE to let your white chocolate come TOTALLY to room temperature before adding to your mixture. This means, almost cold whilst still runny. This is really important, as if it’s too warm, it will form clumps as soon as it hits the cold cream.
• To avoid this even further, try to bring the cream and cream cheese to room temperature before using too.
