A creamy, sweet, and delicious no-bake Galaxy cheesecake with whipped cream, Galaxy chocolate, Galaxy minstrels and more!
Galaxy cheesecake
Yeah, that’s correct… you read the title correctly, IT’S GALAXY CHEESECAKE TIME. I really have lost myself recently writing these intros, but I have been so excited about my recent recipes I just can’t help myself! This one in particular though… love a bit of Galaxy.
Galaxy chocolate is something that really hasn’t featured enough on my blog, and I said this when I made my giant Galaxy cookies, and I really haven’t sorted that out. I always crave my Galaxy Golden Egg cheesecake, but as that’s Easter themed, I wanted to post a basic Galaxy cheesecake recipe!
Everything Galaxy!
This beauty is a cheesecake of your Galaxy dreams, with a buttery biscuit base (Masterchef anyone?!), a creamy and sweet Galaxy cheesecake filling, and topped with my Jane’s Patisserie style decor… a drizzle of melted chocolate, cream swirls, and more chocolate.
I really can’t ever stay away from chocolate or cheesecake, and I think I have problems because of it. I honestly go through the supermarket shelves and just find more and more chocolate.
If someone came into my house and went into my baking cupboard, they really would be concerned for me… they are always FULL to the brim with treats for my bakes, and there is definitely too much there for just the regular person to eat.
Cheesecake
I rarely ever find something out of date in my cupboards, but I am always hoarding and finding something on a deal and buying more! I’d bought some Galaxy chocolate when it had been on offer and sorta forgot about it, so when I went through them and realised it was still there all I could think was about making a cheesecake!
The thing about a cheesecake like this, is that it’s so smooth.. and so delicious. I don’t find a cheesecake like this too rich, as Galaxy chocolate for me is quite a light flavour, especially when mixed with the rest of the cheesecake’s ingredients!
Decoration
I know a lot of people aren’t too much of a fan of the whipped cream on top of the cheesecakes, but I just think it look so pretty! All the decoration of a cheesecake is optional as always, so you can easily leave it out if you don’t fancy it!!
Galaxy
Galaxy is one of the most popular brands in the country (and world!) and I really am not surprised why. It has such an iconic taste, that is still suitably different to it’s main competitor! I absolutely adore both brands, but Galaxy can really take my fancy sometimes.. especially in cheesecake form.
I realise this cheesecake is relatively simple in comparison to some of my other ones, but after the success of my Milkybar cheesecake, I know you guys don’t mind it! Galaxy is THE ONE, and I know you guys will love this too! Enjoy! x
Galaxy Cheesecake!
Ingredients
Biscuit Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 250 g Galaxy chocolate
- 500 g full-fat cream cheese (room temp)
- 100 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 300 ml double cream
Decoration
- 150 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 50 g Galaxy chocolate (melted)
- Galaxy Minstrels/chocolate
- Sprinkles
Instructions
Biscuit Base
- Blitz the digestives in a food processor to a crumb. Melt the butter and add to the biscuits and mix in!
- Press down into the bottom of an 8”/20cm DEEP springform tin!
Cheesecake Filling
- Melt the Galaxy chocolate in a microwave in short bursts until fully melted – leave to cool slightly whilst doing the rest.
- With an electric mixer, whisk the cream cheese, vanilla and icing sugar until combined – add in the melted chocolate and whisk again until smooth.
- Pour in the liquid double cream and continue to whip the cream cheese/cream mixture until it thickens.
- Alternatively, whip the cream separately and fold through.
- Pour the mix on to the biscuit base, smooth over, cover, and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours hours or preferably overnight.
Decoration
- Remove the cheesecake from the tin - whip together the double cream and icing sugar to decorate the cheesecake with. Melt the 50g of Galaxy carefully to drizzle over the cheesecake.
- Decorate with the melted chocolate, the whipped cream, Minstrels, and sprinkles.
Notes
- This cheesecake will last for 3 days in the fridge!
- You can swap the Galaxy chocolate for a basic milk chocolate instead if you want to make it cheaper, but it won't be a Galaxy cheesecake then!
- I used Minstrels on the top as that's what I had, but you can use anything else Galaxy themed that you fancy!
- I used a 8"/20cm deep springform tin for this recipe!
ENJOY!

Hi ,
Does this freeze well if you want to be organised and make ahead please?
Thank you 😊
Just made this cheesecake and it is delicious, it nearly didn’t make it in to the tin as I sampled so much of it after mixing. I used slightly more ingredients, 4 tubs of 165g Philadelphia cheese, 2 blocks of Galaxy chocolate (180 x 2), 2 bottles of double cream (250 x 2), a good splash of vanilla and a generous shake of icing sugar. It was very thick after mixing and I pressed it well in to the springform tin. I used a packet of Mcvities digestives except for 4 biscuits ( I will have them later with a cup of tea) and 6ozs of butter for the base. This is an amazing cheesecake, I have made the lemon cheesecake before which I loved. Thank you Jane for the recipe, I will pass it on after I share my Galaxy cheesecake with the family, I think I will make this one for Xmas. I so enjoy your recipes, especially since my health is declining and I do not go out so often. It is nice to have treats.
Hi Jane, looking forward to baking this. I was wondering where you got your sprinkles from? As I can’t find ones similar.
Thank you!
Made this as a 30th birthday ‘cake ‘ for my son. Very easy to make. Slightly softer texture than the white chocolate and ginger one, but still tasted very nice.
I am making this right now…..and it is not thickening….I double checked and I have followed the recipe properly….not sure what to do.
Does it just not “look” thick?
I have made your recipes before without a problem, so I am wondering if this one is a bit different since it is chocolate
Hiya! It should be thick before going into the tin – this may mean it was over mixed! How did it turn out? x
Your cheesecakes always look so smooth, mine come out if the tin with rougher sides as mine don’t set as hard as yours appear to be help please x
Hi Jane,
Love your no bake cakes.
Going away in a few weeks for my mums 70th to a large house with family. Thinking of making one of these for pudding one evening, but I have few people who don’t like or can’t have cream cheese. Can advise what else I could use? Thank you.
P.S. love your new book 😊
Mascarpone?
My cheesecake is holding its shape but is still quite soft and not quite as dark as yours. Would adding more chocolate next time help it to set harder?
Hi Jane,
I have a 7in tin- would I need to reduce the recipe or would it just make a deeper cheesecake?
If it fits, just roll with the 7″ as its easier – but you can reduce by 1/4 if you wanted! x
Can I make this in a loose bottom tin?😀
Hi Jane,
I’m hoping to make a smaller one so I would half the ingredients, what size tin would you recommend if I do that?
Hey, use a 6 inch!xx
Could hobnobs be used instead of digestives please?
Hi! Love your recipes – i struggle with some of the cheesecakes setting when i make them – i am probably not mixing enough but i always worry about over mixing! I want to add some gelatine to ensure setting – how much would you recommend? Using powder form! Thanks in advance.
I would use one sachet (usually 12g) dissolved in 2-3 tbsp boiling water mixed in!! x
Can I use the cookie crumble spread instead of melted galaxy? Thankyou
Hey! Yes this should work just fine xx
I love a homemade cheesecake and your recipes are so inviting and delicious.
When doing my cheesecake base i put the springform part of the tin straight onto my serving plate without its base then build the cheesecake. When its ready to serve I just release the spring clip and the cheesecake sits perfectly on the serving plate.
Hi, If Im Wanting to make this bigger, in a 10″ tray. How much should i increase the recipe by ?
I would use at least another half of the recipe – so 1.5x in total! x
