Instructions

To make the base use a food processor to whizz up the malted milk biscuits into crumbs, or gently crush them with a rolling pin in a bowl
Mix in the 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 a food mixer with a whisk attachment or an electric hand whisk to mix together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract until smooth with no lumps
If you are melting the Malteser Teasers, let them cool for 10 minutes, then stir them into the filling mixture. If you are chopping them into small pieces, then stir them in after adding the double cream
Add the double cream and whisk until it is very thick and holds it's shape
Smooth the mixture into the tin on top of the biscuit base, then put it in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to set
Remove from the tin and put on your serving plate. Smooth the sides with a butter knife to create a neater finish
Whip up the double cream with the icing sugar and vanilla, and pipe it all around the edges of the cheesecake
Drizzle half of the melted milk chocolate in the centre of the cheesecake, then add the crushed Maltesers on top. then drizzle the remaining milk chocolate over them
Add the whole Maltesers around the edge of the cheesecake on top of the cream
Serve immediately, store any leftovers in the fridge and eat within 2-3 days

Notes

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 malted milk biscuits for the base, but you could substitute if for another similar biscuit like digestives or hobnobs. If you do, increase the butter amount to 135g.
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.
If you can't get hold of the Maltesers Teasers, or don't want to use them, you can use melted milk chocolate instead for the cheesecake filling. Or you can omit the chocolate and add 2 tsp vanilla for a nice flavour.
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.
