No-Bake Bounty Cheesecake!

A Coconutty, Sweet, and Delicious No-Bake Bounty Cheesecake that is guaranteed to satisfy anyones Coconut & Cheesecake cravings!
I have been wanting to post a Bounty related cheesecake for a while, as I recently re-discovered my love and adoration for them. I love coconut bakes, such as my Coconut Loaf Cake, but when I was younger and was given the box of Celebrations I always said I hated Bounty bars as all I wanted was the Maltesers.. needles to say, I made an error here.
When I was shopping the other day for ingredients, I decided to pick up some of the Bounty Spread you can now buy (find it near the Nutellas) and oh my days it was delicious! The spread itself isn’t too strong in a coconut flavour, but its the perfect amount when mixed in with chunks of Bounty. Using a touch of vanilla in the cheesecake was the perfect mix for me, but this is of course optional!
I decorated my cheesecake with drizzles of chocolate, even more bounty and then some delicious toasted coconut! You can toast your coconut by using about 25g of desiccated coconut and putting it into a dry frying pan on a low-medium heat and moving it around with a spatula. It’ll take a while to start, but once it starts toasting it’ll change quickly to the delightful golden colour!
I based this recipe on the idea of my other cheesecakes, such as my No-Bake Mini Egg Cheesecake. I wanted to get oodles of coconut flavour into it after the success of my Coconut Brownies, and I hope I did that in this delightful dessert! I used a pack of 7x 57g Bars of Bounty in these as the pack was cheaper than any others in the supermarket in comparison to the weight of them, but any will do!
I also had to use less Double Cream in this recipe in comparison to other cheesecakes because the Bounty Spread is actually a ‘milk spread’ so goes reasonably runny once beaten in comparison to spreads such as Nutella. You can see notes below on how to make this without the spread!
RECIPE UPDATED AUGUST 2018 – This recipe now differs from what it was originally, and what is stated above as for the last 6 months or so, I haven’t found Bounty Spread ANYWHERE. It’s tragic to be honest, and I’m pretty sure they have stopped selling it, so I’ve update this recipe so it doesn’t include it anymore. If you still manage to find Bounty Spread, there are notes below on how to make the original cheesecake!
Because of wanting to keep a Coconut Flavour, but not having the Bounty Spread anymore, I thought I would through it out there and have a complete and utter experiment, and use Coconut Cream instead of Double Cream. It was definitely a new experience, and I had wondered if I had bought the wrong thing at first, but turns out it worked very well.
It’s important to use coconut CREAM and not milk. I did refrigerate my coconut cream before using it, as it usually comes in the dried foods section along with Thai foods, so its not a dessert type cream really. You can easily use it however, it just helps that its cold, along with the Cream Cheese. To make sure that it set properly, I did add in melted chocolate to the recipe (which the original didn’t have), and it was delicious.
Using the melted chocolate (you can use Dark or Milk), made it just like a bounty bar in cheesecake form, and when the Bounty bits were added it just became next level. I also decided to use regular Digestives, and add in desiccated coconut, rather than chocolate Digestives so it wasn’t tooo much chocolate!

- Add in your melted Butter, and blitz again till combined.
- Press into the bottom of a Deep 8"/20cm Springform Cake tin, and refrigerate whilst you do the rest.

Hey! It won’t have set enough in 30 mins x
Hi Jane
Can you use coconut extract for this recipe?
I don’t see why not!! x
HI Jane
Wanting to make a GF version of this, would I add more butter to the base?
hey ursula
i made the girlfriend version and added loads of butter because i love when my cheesecake is moist but i can confirm if u add more butter it tastes lovely!x
hope this helpss xx
Hi
Would it be possible to use Nice biscuits instead of digestives?
Thank you
Hiya! Yes absolutely, but I would decrease the butter by 1/3! Hope this helps! x
Hi I can only see 250ml of coconut cream in Sainsbury’s but recipe says grams?
Thank you
Hey!
I usually struggle with the recipes where you add the cream to the mix and then whip so usually whip the cream first and fold it in. What would you suggest for this recipe? Does coconut cream cream ‘whip’ like double cream so I could do that first then fold in? I think my trouble is that I usually overwhip when I do it all together :/
Thanks x
Hi Jane, we have KTC pure creamed coconut so to make the coconut cream that it states in your recipe, shall we use the instructions on the packet that it’s given us? (450ml of boiling water mixed into the creamed coconut)
Hi Jane
How would i turn these into 12 mini cheesecakes. Would i reduce by half?
Thanks
Hi Jane I love all your recipes and want to make a cheesecake this weekend! I was wondering if you have a recipe for a 8inch cheesecake that uses chocolate chip cookies to create a base – or if you think it’s suitable for me to blitz some chocolate chip cookies and mix with butter to make a suitable base. I have lots of Maryland cookies basically that I’m trying to use my imagination with 😁 any help you can give would be great!
Thank you, Lizzie
Ahh yay!! Yes you can – but those cookies would need like 2/3 of the butter xx
I can’t seem to find coconut cream anywhere what else can I use please?
Hey, it’s available in the supermarkets in the world cuisine aisles, x
Just made this. My partner spent the evening licking the spoon.
Do you think this could be frozen in an airtight container?
Ahh amazing! And yes it can!
Hi Jane,
Can I use my stand mixer instead of electric hand mixer?
Of course..!
