No Bake Mars Bar Cheesecake

After looking back on the most popular recipes of 2015, it was pretty easy to see that you guys LOVE all things Mars Bar!  So it only made sense to come up with an easy and delicious no bake Mars Bar Cheesecake recipe that I’m quietly confident you are going to love.

This recipe is based on my Maltesers and Mars Bar Cheesecake recipe and is filled with SIX (yep that’s right!) Mars Bars, which makes this a dessert not to eat if you are watching the calories.

To add to it’s deliciousness, I used Oreo Cookies when making the base. However you could easily substitute these with Chocolate Ripple biscuits if you prefer.

This no bake Mars Bar Cheesecake is a great make ahead dessert and I personally think it tastes better the day after it has been made, when it’s been sitting out of the fridge for 20 minutes or so and the Mars Bar pieces inside and on top of it begin to melt – yum!

Notes

The above mixing times may vary depending on the softness of your cream cheese and Mars Bars. I suggest using cream cheese and Mars Bars which are both at room temperature and are soft.

This cheesecake is quite soft as it doesn’t contain gelatine. If your cheesecake is too soft or runny when you cut it – pop it back in the fridge to let it set for a bit longer.
