Milkybar Cheesecake!



A Sweet, Delicious and Creamy No-Bake Milkybar Cheesecake!

Servings: 14 Slices

Ingredients

Biscuit Base

300 g Digestives150 g Unsalted Butter

Cheesecake Filling

300 g Milkybar Chocolate500 g Full-Fat Cream Cheese75 g Icing Sugar1 tsp Vanilla Extract300 ml Double Cream

Decoration

150 ml Double Cream2 tbsp Icing SugarMilkybar Chocolate

Instructions

For the Biscuit Base

Blitz you biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, or bash them up in a large bowl with the end of a rolling pin!

Melt your butter till runny, and mix into the biscuits.

Press the mixture down into the bottom of an 8"/20cm Springform Tin!

For the Cheesecake Filling

Melt your Milkybar Chocolate carefully, either in the microwave or over a double boiler, and leave to the side for now.

Whisk together your Cream Cheese, Icing Sugar, and Vanilla until smooth. I use my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer with the whisk attachment.

Add your melted Milkybar Chocolate to the mix, and stir to combine!

Add in your double cream and whisk till thick, or whisk the cream separately and fold through the mixture till combined.

Spread the mixture over the biscuit base, and refrigerate for 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight!

For the Decoration

Once the cheesecake is set, remove it from the tin carefully!

Melt some extra Milkybar chocolate and drizzle over the cheesecake

Whip together your Double Cream and Icing Sugar until soft peaks are formed, and pipe onto your cheesecake!

Add a piece of Milkbar to each swirl, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

I obviously used Milkybar, because that was the theme of the cheesecake, but you can use any white chocolate you want. Depending on how you make your cheesecakes, you can either whip the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla together, and then fold in the white chocolate, and then fold in pre-whipped cream, or do it the whisky way

This cheesecake will last for 3 days in the fridge, once made. I recommend using an 8"/20cm deep springform tin! All of the decorational bits are optional, I just like my cheesecakes to look fancy!

GREAT IDEA FOR MY WORKROOM








YOU WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT





 I always wanted an old rustic house where I could have my pets, garden, coffee shop/craft shop. I lived in an apartment and it was filled with boxes with crafts, antiques and beautiful crockery that I bought at charity shops, car boots and auctions through the years, Many times wondering if ever my dream would come true.  I am nearly 60 years old, limited funds. I found a dilapidated period house this year. I shared with a member of family, I was told you too old, I asked a friend for advice, I was told you have no money and the house is too big. I bought the house and  I am on the best journey of my life, for it is the first time in my life I have a vision of what I always wanted and I am aiming for it. Don't let anyone dis-encourage you or kill your dreams. Believe in yourself.                                                      

Reasons Why It’s Never Too Late to Learn Anything


It is never too late to learn and grow. 

 

1.     Learning keeps the mind stimulated, fobbing off brain degenerative diseases, as we get older.

2.     If you’re stuck in a rut and just can’t figure out why you’re there, start by learning something new. You’d be amazed at the ideas/inspiration your mind starts generating as you learn new things.

3.     Boost your self-esteem and add some excitement to your life. Meet new people and grow as an individual. 

              

There's really no excuse for not doing something that you have always wanted to do and was afraid, now is the time, no matter your age, you can do it. Make a plan for it and get going.

FUNNY STORY - A WOMEN TAKES HER 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO THE DOCTOR



 The doctor says, “okay,  Mrs. Jones, what seems to be the problem?”

The mother says, “It’s my daughter Darla. She keeps getting cravings, she’s putting on weight and is sick most mornings.”

The doctor gives Darla a good examination, and then turns to the mother and says, “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your Darla is pregnant. About 4 months would be my quess.”

The mother says, “Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never been left alone with a man! Have you, Darla?”

Darla says,  “No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!”

The doctor walks over to the window and just stares out of it.  

A few moments later, the mother says, “Is there something wrong out there, doctor?”

The doctor replies, “No, not really, it’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill.  I’ll be damned if I’m going to miss it this time!






THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
