Why make a no bake cheesecake?
No bake cheesecakes are so easy, but while they may be commonplace for some, for others not baking a cheesecake is a little alien.
Someone once said to us “I could just spread cream cheese on a cracker – I just don’t get it. “
That’s fair enough if you’ve never tried a no bake cheesecake before.
But it couldn’t be further from the truth.
Combining cream cheese, with heavy cream (double cream), and powdered sugar (icing sugar) means you have a gloriously rich, thick filling.

Are Maltesers the same as Whoppers?
They are similar but not exactly the same.
Maltesers are large, shiny, a little less dense, and made by Mars.
Whoppers are smaller, denser, and are made by Hershey’s.
What equipment do I need?
You’ll need a food processor or a handheld electric mixer, a mixing bowl, and a muffin tin with removable bases.
How to make no bake mini Malteser cheesecakes with step by step instructions
It’s easy to make our mini Malteser cheesecake recipe if you follow our simple instructions.
For the bases
Place your Graham crackers or digestive biscuits in a food processor and blitz until they are smooth crumbs.
Transfer them to a large mixing bowl, then add melted butter and stir to fully combine.
Next, place the crumb mixture in individual portions in your muffin tin.
Use the back of a teaspoon to press the mixture down so it is compact.
Place the muffin tin in the fridge to chill.
For the cheesecake filling
Place your Maltesers (or Whoppers) in a sandwich bag and bash them gently with a rolling pin.
You want crushed Maltesers, but they still need to be a little chunky, then set aside.
Now add full fat cream cheese, powdered sugar (icing sugar), and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.
Using a handheld electric whisk, whisk the mixture until it’s a smooth consistency.
Then, add heavy cream (double cream) and whisk until it becomes very thick and can keep its shape.
Next, stir in the crushed Maltesers (Whoppers) until they are evenly distributed in the cheesecake mixture.
Now, using a tablespoon add the cheesecake mix on top of the crumb base, ensuring that the mixture is equally distributed, and the tops are smooth.
Place them in the fridge and chill for a minimum of 5 hours, preferably overnight.
When you are ready to serve, remove the mini Malteser cheesecakes from the muffin tin.
