Cadburys Heroes cheesecake

It’s the week before Christmas, and I know what you’re craving… another cheesecake! But honestly, this beauty is a winner as it’s a CADBURY’S HEROES CHEESECAKE! I know, I know, I have excelled myself this time and used a classic treat that’s found in so many homes this Christmas. I, myself, am blown away because Heroes are one of the best things about Christmas?! That, and being together with your family and friends.

Christmas campaign

This Christmas, Costcutter has launched the campaign ‘bringing Christmas together’, and I am up for that. One of the best things about Christmas is spending time with people you love, and having a lovely time. Whether it’s the perfect Christmas dinner, the perfect wine, or the perfect dessert, in this case, they are here to help. Honestly, they have all the bits you need for anything last minute, for all things cheesecake and more. 

Cheesecake 

They set me a challenge of creating something with Philadelphia, Mcvities and Heroes, so I decided to create a cheesecake that involved all of these favourite cheesecake bits, that you can all buy in Costcutter stores! The classic part of my cheesecakes, Philadelphia cream cheese was already a winner as I use it ALL of the time! Then the Mcvities chocolate digestives and Cadbury’s Heroes brought to life this insane cheesecake. Along with some other staple ingredients, this beauty is SO YUMMY I can’t cope.

Base

I thought that as most of my other cheesecake recipes have a plain digestive base, I would make this a milk chocolate digestive base, as I have so many requests for this all of the time! Because the biscuits have the chocolate coating, you reduce the butter in the base to 100g. The melted butter effectively melts the chocolate, so it helps to set. If you still use the 150g, you would have a bit of a sticky mess on your hands!

Filling

For the filling, I used 3x the 180g tubs of Philadelphia full-fat cream cheese. These are the perfect size for it, as you need 525g roughly, and these pots bring you up to 540g, so it’s pretty darn close! The rest of the filling ingredients you can also find in Costcutter stores – the milk and dark chocolates for the filling, the icing sugar, the double cream and of course… The Cadbury’s Heroes!

For the filling, you can easily use just dark chocolate or just milk chocolate, but I personally adore the mix of the two. The dark chocolate is better at setting a cheesecake, but you get some extra sweetness from the milk chocolate. I haven’t tried this cheesecake with a white chocolate filling yet, but I stand by my mix of milk and dark. 

Decoration

For the decoration of this beauty, I decided to do things a little differently, and do a ganache style ‘drip’ cheesecake, with plenty of Cadbury’s Heroes on top. Of course, with a sprinkling of some cute festive sprinkles. For the filling, I left out the eclairs, as they’d be too solid to cut, but used everything else on the inside. The eclairs went on top, with even more Heroes!

This cheesecake is the ideal dessert to have found the Christmas dinner table if you are a fan of chocolate. If you aren’t, there are plenty of other cheesecakes you can make if you still want something delicious! Make sure to check out what Costcutter has on offer this Christmas for all your festive needs, and have a wonderfully lovely Christmas with all your friends and family! Enjoy! x
