- 200g (7 oz) digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100g (½ cup) unsalted butter (melted)
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients:
- 300g (10 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 250ml (1 cup) heavy cream (cold)
- 100g (½ cup) powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons malted milk powder (like Horlicks or Ovaltine)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100g (3.5 oz) Maltesers (crushed, for texture)

- 150g (5 oz) milk chocolate (melted)
- 50ml (¼ cup) heavy cream (warm, for smoothness)
- 100g (3.5 oz) whole Maltesers (for decoration)
Instructions
- Pulverize digestive biscuits into delicate particles using a food processor or rolling pin, ensuring a uniform, sandy texture.
- Incorporate melted butter and malted milk powder into the biscuit crumbs, mixing thoroughly to create a cohesive base mixture.
- Transfer the crumbly blend into a 9-inch springform pan, methodically pressing and compacting the mixture to form an even, firm foundation.
- Refrigerate the prepared crust for half an hour, allowing it to solidify and develop a sturdy structure that will support the subsequent cheesecake layers.
Notes
- Opt for digestive biscuits or graham crackers as alternative base options for diverse texture and flavor profiles.
- Enhance crumb mixture’s richness by adding a pinch of sea salt, which amplifies the malted milk powder’s depth.
- Ensure butter is completely melted and cooled slightly before mixing with biscuit crumbs to achieve a perfect binding consistency.
- For gluten-free adaptation, replace regular biscuits with gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour-based alternatives.
