Honeycomb and white chocolate no-bake cheesecake

I don't know about you, but very often I find that our best recipes are borne out of a wave of inspiration combined with a good dose of improvisation. For this delicious honeycomb and white chocolate no-bake cheesecake recipe, we took this Baileys cheesecake recipe as our starting point, and riffed and tweaked from there.

The resulting cheesecake is sweet and creamy with each bite dissolving in the mouth to reveal little pieces of crunchy honeycomb or velvety chocolate. In some places, the honeycomb is already dissolved, creating revealing little pools of caramel-like sauce as your fork cuts into the cake. Gorgeous.

Here's what to do to make one for yourself...

Ingredients

Equipment

Instructions

1. Crush the biscuits (either with the end of a rolling pin or briefly in a food processor).
2. Melt the butter and mix into the biscuits until all the butter is absorbed.
3. Press into the bottom of a large springform tin, then refrigerate until set (at least an hour).
4. To prepare the filling, lightly whip the cream cheese then beat in the icing sugar.
5. Whip the cream until stiff, stir in the honeycomb pieces then grate in the chocolate.
6. Fold the cream mix into the cream cheese mix, folding until fully combined.
7. Spoon the filling onto the biscuit base and smooth over the surface
8. Refrigerate overnight or until set.

Indulgent? Yes. Worth it? Yes.
