The old “roadies” here know how much I looooooooooove cheesecake. My blog has quite a few in it.
You can use any chocolate bar you like in place of the Mars Bar.
A more cost effective option for the base is using a plain biscuit and 15g cocoa powder.
When using cream cheese without gelatine for cheesecake be sure to buy the full fat version and the non spreadable version otherwise your cheesecake may not set. I find the Philadelphia blocks or Homebrand tubs work best for these no bake cheesecakes.
My other cheesecakes:
- Choc Honeycomb Cheesecake
- Choc Peppermint Cheesecake
- Cookies & Cream Cheesecake
- Double Chocolate Cheesecake
- Jelly Cheesecake
- Mars Bar Cheesecake
- Toblerone Cheesecake
I’m off to dinner at my brother in laws house tonight and I am taking this along for dessert. Yummo!!!

- Stir through HALF of the chopped mars bar on speed 4 until mixed through.

- Refrigerate for 6-8 hours but overnight ideally.
- Just before serving sprinkle the other half of the chopped mars bars over the top.
- Use a warm knife to cut cheesecake (run it under hot water).
