  • The perfect make ahead dessert, you can make them the day before you need them.

What ingredients do I need?

You’ll need all the ingredients shown in the photo below.

Ingredients needed, Graham crackers or digestive biscuits, butter, sugar, full fat cream cheese, Maltesers, double cream, milk chocolate, and vanilla paste.

Serve these after dinner and people can’t help but be impressed, but they are deceptively easy to make!

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.

And there’s no chance of it cracking either, whereas baked cheesecakes sometimes do.

If you’re on the fence about them, then give them a try – you may just fall in love with them!

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 do I store the cheesecakes?

Our Malteser cheesecakes will store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

They can also be frozen and will keep for up to 2 months.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • The right base
    Use digestives, or Graham crackers, please note we haven’t made it with malted milk biscuits.
  • Malted milk powder
    Some recipes call for malted milk powder, we don’t feel it’s needed.
  • Don’t go low
    Use full fat cream cheese or your mini Malteser cheesecake won’t set properly
  • Take it out of the fridge
    Ensure that you use room temperature cream cheese, so it’s easy to mix
  • Get creative
    Decorate your cheesecakes with swirls of whipped cream.
  • Storage
    Keep in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days and freeze for up to 2 months.

It’s easy to make our mini Malteser cheesecake recipe if you follow our simple instructions.

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.
