Dime Bar Cheesecake

What can you do with half a packet of digestives, a can of caramel and some Dime bars?

 

Well mix them altogether with some other ingredients and hey presto you will end up with the most amazing cheesecake, I promise!

 

Now, up until last week I hadn't ever made a cheesecake before.  Don't ask me why!  It was so easy and so delicious I can't believe its taken me until now to make one!

 

This is the recipe I used (adapted from a recipe given to me by a very good friend!)

 

DIME BAR CHEESECAKE

250g Digestive biscuits crushed

100g melted butter

3/4 of a carton of Double cream (approx 250ml)

1 small tub of Philly (soft cream cheese)

1 can condensed caramel

Icing sugar to taste

2 Dime bars

 

 

 

I mixed the crushed biscuits and melted butter together,

 

Then pressed them into a 20cm spring clip cake tin. 

 

I left this in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours.

 

Then I used the majority of the can of caramel and poured it over the top of the biscuits base. 

 

I put the cake tin back in the fridge for a couple of hours to chill again.

 

Then I mixed the double cream and the small tub of Philly cheese together using my hand whisk.

 

I added about one desert spoon of icing sugar to the creamy mixture but this is up to your own taste.

 

Then using a rolling pin I crushed the Dime bars and added this to the creamy mix.

I stirred it altogether and poured it onto the caramel and biscuit base.

 

I left it in the fridge overnight to set.

 

Then to serve I added slices of banana or you could add more crushed Dime bars.

 

Enjoy!
