Aero Mint
Chocolate Cheesecake
rich, creamy and refreshing all at once. This dreamy no-bake
mint cheesecake is laced with Aero Mint Chocolate, just TRY and resist it!
Ingredients
·
200g plain or chocolate biscuits (I use 12-15
chocolate digestives)
·
100g (6 ½ tbsp) butter
·
600g (22 oz) cream cheese
·
120g (½ cup) icing sugar
·
1 tsp mint extract
·
300ml (1 ¼ cups) double or whipping cream
·
100g (3 oz) Aero Mint chocolate (or your
favourite mint chocolate) plus extra for decoration
Instructions
1.
Prepare a 20-25cm springform tin by lining the
base with greaseproof paper.
2.
Using either a food processor, or freezer bag
and rolling pin, bash the biscuits into fine crumbs.
3.
Melt the butter in a pan or in the microwave and
stir it through the biscuit crumbs.
4.
Pour this mixture into your prepared tin and
firmly press it into a flat base using the back of a spoon.
5.
Chill this biscuit base in the fridge to firm up
for 20-30 minutes.
6.
To make the cheesecake part, place the cream
cheese, icing sugar and mint extract into a large bowl.
7.
Mix with a spoon or whisk until smooth and
combined.
8.
Whip the double cream until it reaches stiff
peaks, careful not to overwhip it though, this can turn it into butter!
9.
Smash up the Aero chocolate into fine crumbs and
shards. I do this just by bashing it while it's still in the wrapper
10.
Spoon two-thirds of the cream and the Aero
crumbs into the cheesecake bowl and gently stir it through to incorporate.
11.
Once the base is chilled and firm, you can begin
to assemble.
12.
Now gently spoon the cheesecake mixture on top
of the base, carefully spreading it evenly all over. It can be easier to do
this in two stages rather than all at once!
13.
Once evenly spread into the tin, it's time to
decorate!
14.
Decorate the top of the cheesecake using the
leftover whipped cream and as much extra Aero Mint chocolate as you like.
15.
Place the cheesecake back into the fridge to
chill and firm up for at least 3 hours.
16.
Once chilled and firmed up a little, unclip the
springform tin and place the cheesecake onto your chosen serving plate. Don’t
worry about keeping the base of the tin on, it can be easier for serving
initially!
17.
At this stage you can return it to the fridge or
slice it up and serve.
18.
Enjoy!
