Kit Kat is one of my favourite chocolate bars and it tastes even better in a Cheesecake. This cheesecake has a beautiful biscuit base followed by layer of Kit Kat chocolate and then a luscious and creamy Cheesecake filling. It is baked and then chilled overnight. An easy, indulgent and delicious dessert!
Makes 16.
Ingredients:
- 200g digestive biscuits
- 100g unsalted butter
- 375g cream cheese
- 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
- 1tsp vanilla essence
- 2 eggs
- 130 g (1/2 cup) Greek yogurt
- 8 (45g) Kit Kat bars
- Chocolate ganache to top
Method:
- Preheat oven to 160C or 140C fan forced. Line a 20cm square cake time with grease proof paper.
- In a food processor, place biscuits and process to turn them into fine crumbs. Add butter and process until fully combined and has a bread crumb like texture. Put in the cake tin and smooth with the back of a glass. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.
- Beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla for 2-3 minutes or until its smooth. Add eggs, beating after every addition. Add yogurt and beat until just combined.
- Place Kit Kat on the biscuit base and then pour the cream cheese filling on it and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35 minutes and then turn the oven off and open the oven door slightly and let it sit in the oven for 1 hour. This avoids cracking on the top. Place in the fridge overnight to chill completely.
- Cut into 16 squares. Chop leftover Kit Kat. Drizzle chocolate ganache and then top with chopped Kit Kat.
Just letting you know, if you’re not a huge fan of Kit Kat you can simply skip it and enjoy a simpler cheesecake topped with chocolate sauce or strawberry sauce. Trust me, it’ll taste equally delicious!
