    Galaxy Caramel Cheesecake (No Bake)

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    There is some debate between which chocolate is better - Galaxy or Cadbury? For me, I just love chocolate! And what I love even better is chocolate and caramel together! Oh what a tasty combination they make. This Galaxy Caramel Cheesecake features a digestive biscuit base, a creamy vanilla cheesecake with chopped Galaxy Caramel pieces mixed into it, the top is drizzled with both melted Galaxy chocolate and caramel sauce, then there's whipped cream, then there's yet more Galaxy Caramel pieces, some Galaxy Caramel Crunch Buttons and I added some fudge sprinkles too for good measure. Chocolate and caramel heaven is served!

    Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information

    • It is really important to stick to the ingredients and use full fat cream cheese and double cream (a cream with a 48% fat content), both of these ingredients are essential to ensure the no bake cheesecake sets. If you want to make a low fat version, I suggest doing this in small dessert glasses or ramekins as they will not set well enough to be sliced.
    • I am based in the UK and I find that Philadelphia cream cheese is the thickest and best quality cream cheese to use for no bake cheesecakes. I have made many cheesecakes with supermarket own brand cream cheeses too, and they have worked great. If you can though, I think it is worth spending a little more for Philadelphia (and no they haven't paid me to say this!)
    • I like to use Digestive biscuits (Graham crackers if you're in the US) for the base, but you could substitute if for another similar biscuit like ginger nuts or Hobnobs.
    • You can use either butter or baking spread for the biscuit base, I find that baking spread makes the cheesecake easier to remove from the tin as it doesn't make the base set as solidly.
    • I used the Galaxy Caramel Buttons to decorate the top purely because I saw them in the shop and they looked yummy, but if you can't find them then use pieces of Galaxy Caramel chocolate bar instead.
    • You can find lots of answers to common no bake cheesecake questions on my How To Make A No Bake Cheesecake guide. If you've never made a no bake cheesecake before, I highly recommend reading through my guide first!
    • Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
    • For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

    For the full recipe with measurements, head to the recipe card at the end of this post.

    How to make Galaxy Caramel Cheesecake

    To make the base, use a food processor to whizz up the biscuits into crumbs. Mix in melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of a 23cm springform tin. Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.

    For the cheesecake filling, use an electric hand whisk to mix together the cream cheese, vanilla and icing sugar. Once it is smooth with no lumps, add the double cream and whisk until it is very thick and holds it’s shape. Then fold in chopped up Galaxy Caramel pieces.

    Smooth the mixture into the tin on top of the biscuit base and put it in the fridge overnight to set. The next day, remove it from the tin and drizzle over caramel sauce and melted Galaxy chocolate. To decorate, pipe some whipped cream around the edges of the cheesecake and add Galaxy Caramel pieces, Galaxy Caramel buttons and some fudge sprinkles.

    How do you make sure the cheesecake sets?

    When you’re mixing the filling, you want it to get to a stage where you can scoop some up with your spatula or spoon and you have to give it a tap on the side of the bowl or slight flick of the wrist to get the mixture off the spoon. If it’s sloppy and slides right off the spoon without any encouragement needed, then you need to mix it more. Always use an electric mixer for best results. It’s also very important to use full fat cream cheese and double cream (heavy cream), as any low fat versions will affect the setting of the cheesecake. I always set my cheesecake overnight in the fridge, I’d suggest a minimum of 4 hours.

    What caramel sauce is best to use?

    My favourite caramel sauce to use is my Homemade Caramel Sauce, it's rich, smooth and absolutely divine! You can also easily add salt to it to make it into a salted caramel sauce. If you don't want to make your own, it's quite easy nowadays to find a good quality ready made caramel (or salted caramel) sauce in the shops or online. I have used Tesco's Finest, Bonn Maman and Carnation Caramel in the past with great results.

    How long does the cheesecake last and can it be frozen?

    The cheesecake should be stored in the fridge and will last for 3-4 days. You can freeze the undecorated cheesecake, however you do need to let it set in the fridge first. Setting it in the freezer will affect the texture and it won't be as nice. Once it's set in the fridge, you can remove it from the tin and put the cheesecake in a box or tupperware. You could also slice it up, and freeze in portions. Then you can easily defrost a few slices at a time depending on when you'd like some cheesecake!

    To see step by step photos and a video showing you how to remove a no bake cheesecake from the tin, as well as the answers to lots of other common no bake cheesecake questions, check out my How to make a No Bake Cheesecake guide!

    Can this recipe be made in a different sized tin?

    This recipe is for a 23cm (9") springform tin, if you would like to convert this recipe for a smaller or larger tin, please check out my Conversion Guide.

    Can this cheesecake be made gluten free?

    Yes! To make this recipe gluten free, swap the biscuits in the biscuit base for gluten free biscuits. I would also recommend that you check the packaging of everything you're using in the recipe in case of cross contamination.
