Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake Ingredients Notes

For the base:

Butter – Unsalted is best if you have it. You can melt it quickly in a mug in the microwave Digestive biscuits – These crush up well

For the cheesecake:

Milk chocolate – Broken into pieces Double cream – See tips below on the required whipping consistency Cream cheese – I like to use Philadelphia. You can use other brands but I find they are slightly more difficult to combine. Always use full fat and drain before use Icing sugar – This will need sifting Ferrero Rocher – Or other hazelnut chocolates

To decorate:

Milk chocolate – Broken into pieces. I love this kind of chocolate Ferrero Rocher – 12 individual chocolates Edible gold sprinkles – Optional

Whipping the cream

When whipping the double cream, be sure to watch it very carefully. It should be just forming soft floppy peaks, but still hold its shape. Too runny and the cheesecake will be sloppy, too stiff and it will be too dense.

Sift the icing sugar

Do sift the icing sugar, it will give a much smoother texture to the cheesecake. Don’t ignore this as I normally do!

Type of tin

The recipe is for a 7″ tin which is also DEEP (this is the type of tin I use). You can use smaller or larger 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.

If it’s too runny

Ferrero Rocher 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.

To make ahead

Prepare the cheesecake up to the end of step 4. Keep it in the fridge in the tin for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to serve, or up to 2 hours before, finish the cheesecake as per the final steps. You can store the cheesecake in the fridge (without the topping) for a MINIMUM of 4 hours and up to 3 days from preparation. The results will be much better if it’s had time to chill overnight. Leave it in the tin in the fridge and cover with a dinner plate of cling film (but make sure it doesn’t touch the surface of your beautiful cheesecake!) Can cheesecake be frozen? You can also put the undecorated cheesecake in the freezer in the tin if you want to make it further in advance. Just make sure you defrost it properly in the fridge (again, in the tin) for 24 hours or until completely thawed, then decorate.
