Method

1. Butter an 8 inch spring form cake tin with melted butter, then leave to one side until needed.

2. For the base: whizz the base ingredients in a blender until they are like fine breadcrumbs.

3. Pour this crumb mixture into a bowl and add the melted butter. Mix everything together then tip into the spring form cake tin.

4. Press it down so it is level and compact with the back of a large spoon then put the tin in the fridge for a good 30 minutes to firm up.

5. For the topping: put the cream cheese, soured cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat together until combined.

6. In another bowl whisk the double cream until it forms medium peaks. Pour the whipped cream in a bowl with the cream cheese, soured cream, icing sugar and vanilla and fold gently together. Add the crushed maltesers and fold to combine.

7. To assemble: take the tin containing the biscuit base from the fridge and tip the creamy mixture over the top of it. Spread it around to level and then bang the tin a couple of times on the work surface to make sure it touches the base mixture evenly and there are no gaps.

8. Place in the fridge for an hour or two to set. Once ready to serve, remove from the fridge and press the maltesers in to the topping if using. Cut and serve.

Made this yesterday, needs a long time to set and still quite soft but just about holds. I used full fat cheese as this gives a firmer set. The important thing is the taste though and it tasted amazing, so creamy and morish, will definately make again, may try a different chocolate, perhaps crunchie or dime bar woukld be good.

i loosely followed this recipe, not having scales or things to weigh anything. Came out perfectly and was very very pleased with it. The only problem I had was making it last very long (a total of 1 day) before it was all gone!!

Very disappointed in this recipe. I made it for a dinner party and left in the fridge for at least 6 hours, took it out to cut it only to have a puddle of maltesers and cream cheese.

First time I've made this and it's worked out perfectly. I followed the method step-by-step and left the cheesecake in the very top of my fridge for five hours while I was at work - when I came home it had set well enough to hold itself out of the loose-based tin. Looks and tastes amazing and really easy to make as long as you follow the instructions!

Made this many times and as long as the mixture is whisked as stated it holds perfectly.You need to put barbed-wire round it to make it last longer than 30 mins.

Exact same thing happened to me, on the second attempt I used gelatine and it worked perfectly

Sorry to hear that the recipe didn't work for you. Maybe you didn't whisk the cream for long enough? It needs to form medium peaks...that's the only thing I can think of that may have gone wrong!

I made this recipe on Saturday after 10hrs in fridge and 2hrs in freezer it never set and collapsed when I cut it it was a complete disaster for my nephew's christening I presume gelatine was left out of the recipe as there is nothing to hold it together as I realised after

Mixture tastes amazing but it still hasn't set after 5hrs! Followed recipe exactly to the word? Any suggestions?

Terrible.....The only thing you could do would be to drink it not slice it .It was so runny

Agree with the richness comment! Mine didnt seem to set even in 3 hours, would leaving it overnight help?
Very nice though, everyone polished it off.

Very rich cheesecake and does not need as many maltesers as recipe states, but overall a very nice dessert
