WELCOME TO THE EPOCH. Ever since I was introduced to malt chocolate cheesecake, it became one of my most favourite of all the desserts; rich, smooth with a delicious thick biscuit base and just enough chocolate to make it utterly scrumptious without being too rich or overwhelming. So, I don’t know why I didn’t think of making a sugar-free version of this cheesecake MUCH sooner… but here we are. I made it (it’s also my first cheesecake!), and it is amazing. Consider my own horn tooted. This cheesecake is THA(non-terrorist)BOMB. And, considering this is my BIRTHDAY WEEK (subtle!), what better way to celebrate than with some birthday cheesecake? Yes, it’s full of full-fat cream cheese, double cream and butter… but you can’t be a little saintly without being a little sinful too, right?
(Note: I did say that this was ‘no-bake’, because it’s not a baked cheesecake, but you do still have to bake the biscuit base. You chould cheat and use Hobnobs or malted milk biscuits out of a packet, but then how are you supposed to learn?)
So without any more pomp and circumstance: LET’S GET IT AWWWWNNN.
For the biscuit base
For the cheesecake
For the biscuit base
For the cheesecake
…and you’re all done! And believe me, even without sugar, this cheesecake tastes magical. Happy Birthday*!
