Ingredients
- 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 300g cream cheese, softened
- 200g dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 100g powdered sugar
- 100ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder for dusting, optional
- Chocolate shavings for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes to set.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the melted chocolate, powdered sugar, bourbon, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the chocolate filling over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Serve: Once set, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and enjoy your No-Bake Chocolate Bourbon Cheesecake!
