A delicious no-bake Cadbury’s chocolate cheesecake with a chocolate biscuit base, Cadbury’s chocolate cheesecake filling, and even more Cadbury’s on top!

Another cheesecake recipe!

So it’s been a while since I made a cheesecake… that’s a lie. Like straight from the beginning I am lying. I try to make it seem like I don’t do them so often, but I genuinely have a bit of a problem.

I believe I have roughly 65 cheesecakes on my blog at the moment I am writing this, ranging with all different flavours and types… but will I ever stop posting more?! Only if I run of out ideas.

I have done chocolate cheesecake’s in the past, and with all different sorts of brands. I have even used Cadbury’s before! Definitely haven’t done enough to make this post pointless, however. My Cadbury’s caramel cheesecake, Double Decker cheesecake, or even my Crunchie cheesecake all involve some form of Cadbury’s, but none of them are just the basic chocolate cheesecake that so many of you ask for.

Chocolate cheesecake

I have technically done a chocolate cheesecake in the past, with my triple chocolate cheesecake, but even that isn’t just the basic. I know I do tend to go quite over the top with a lot of my recipes, but they’re designed to be for special occasions, or showstoppers… they’re not your every day bakes. However, because I have had oodles and oodles of requests for a basic milk chocolate cheesecake, I thought I would oblige.

The recipe is basically just a basic cheesecake, but swapping out any of my other flavour creations for good ol’ Cadbury’s Dairy Milk. Dairy milk chocolate is SO well known, and I remember being so incredibly excited when I was on a school trip to Costa Rica years ago, and we found Dairy Milk in a local shop… it was heaven when we were abroad in quite a different environment. It’s a classic chocolate flavour that can’t be beaten! Unless of course, you swing Galaxy way… I happily adore both.

Cadburys

I would say that Cadbury’s chocolate does behave differently to other bog standard milk chocolates because it has different ingredients. I personally believe it melts differently, and I wouldn’t use it for a ganache for example? But in a dessert such as this delicious chocolate cheesecake, I don’t really think it matters as much. You can’t call a Cadbury’s cheesecake a Cadbury’s cheesecake if you don’t use the chocolate… the taste would give it away immediately.

Cadbury’s have recently brought out a dark version of their Dairy Milk called Dark Milky, and I utterly adore it. It’s again a different flavour to regular dark chocolate, but so yummy. Either would work well in this recipe, or you could even go half and half. As long as it’s Cadbury’s I don’t mind.

Decoration

I decided to decorate this bad boy in a similar way to basically ALL of my other cheesecakes, with a drizzle of chocolate, some sweetened whipped cream swirls, and whatever the chocolate theme is on top. Making my life simpler, I used the Cadbury’s giant buttons on top, which are so incredibly addictive I’m surprised I managed to keep 12 spare to decorate… but you can use pieces of Cadbury’s if you prefer. Yes, these bits of chocolate do end up being a little hard after staying in the fridge.. but I kinda love fridge cold chocolate.

I hope you all love this recipe as much as I certainly did, enjoy! x

Ingredients

Biscuit Base

  • 300 g digestives
  • 25 g cocoa powder
  • 150 g unsalted butter (melted)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 250 g Cadbury's Dairy Milk
  • 500 g full fat cream cheese
  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 300 ml double cream

Decoration

  • 150 ml double cream
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
  • 50 g Cadbury's Dairy Milk (melted)
  • Cadbury's Dairy Milk Buttons

Instructions

For the Biscuit Base!

  • Add your biscuits to a food processor and blitz into a fine crumb. Alternatively, use a large bowl with the end of a rolling pin. 
  • Add in your cocoa powder, and mix briefly. 
  • Add in your melted butter, and mix until its combined, and press into the bottom of an 8"/20cm deep springform tin. Store in the fridge whilst you make the filling.

For the Cheesecake Filling!

  • Melt your Cadbury's Dairy Milk carefully until smooth. I personally use the microwave on short bursts, but you can use a bain marie as well. 
  • Leave the chocolate to cool for a minute or two. 
  • Add your full-fat cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla to a large bowl, and whisk until smooth. 
  • Add in the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth. 
  • Add in the double cream, and whisk again until thick and combined well. 
  • Try not to over whisk the mixture, keep an eye on it and stop the whisk frequently to check. 
  • Once all whisked, spread over the biscuit base and leave to set for 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight. 

For the Decoration!

  • Whisk together the double cream and icing sugar until its pipeable. 
  • Drizzle over the melted Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate, and then pipe your cream on. 
  • Add on a Cadbury's Dairy Milk Button to each cream swirl and enjoy!

Notes

  • This cheesecake will last for three days in the fridge. 
  • You can freeze the cheesecake for up to three months - set fully in the fridge first, however. 
  • If your cheesecake mix was thick, and then went thin you have over whisked it. 
  • You can swap the Cadbury's Dairy Milk for any other chocolate, but obviously this is designed for Cadbury's Dairy Milk. 
  • I recommend this tin for the cheesecake

    Hi I made this recipe and stuck it straight in the freezer without chilling in the fridge first will it be ok? 😩
    I’ve wrapped it in clingfilm and foil as it for next week but I’m just to busy to make fresh the day before

  2. Alicia on March 25, 2024 at 6:56 pm

    Can I half this recipe?

    I made this cheesecake this weekend to take round for dessert for my daughter in laws family when I went round there for dinner today. Everybody seemed to love it ❤️

    Would this freeze?

    • Jane's Patisserie on November 16, 2022 at 9:24 am

      Absolutely, for up to 3months! Hope this helps! x

    Hi Jane! I am in loove with your recipes! With your cheesecakes, how long do you leave your cream cheese out for it to come to room temp? I made your lindt cheesecake recipe a while back and i left the cream cheese out for 1 hour- i think this was too long so it curdled when i whisked it 🙁

    I’ve made this many times and it’s been a HUGE hit every time. I would love to know if I could mad these cupcake size so keep the recipe the same but split them into cupcake cases instead of one big cheesecake. please let me know if this is possible/ what you think about that.

    thank you xx

    • Jane's Patisserie on March 11, 2022 at 12:41 pm

      Yes absolutely! Take a look at my Mini Chocolate Orange Cheesecakes recipe for reference! Hope this helps! x

    Hi, this is the second time I’ve tried a cheesecake and both have been unsuccessful. This time round, it looks like I’ve curdled the mixture, I’m assuming I’ve overwhisked it but I kept checking it and it wasn’t thick and lovely like yours in the videos so I gave it another little go and within seconds then it looked terrible! Any help would be appreciated, is it set for the bin! Or could be it be salvaged? Thank you.

  8. Lauren on September 2, 2021 at 10:39 am

    Hi can I use a 9 inch tin instead of 8

  9. Cally-Anne Plaisted on July 7, 2021 at 7:18 pm

    I am going to give this a whirl this weekend! Can I use just mascarpone?

    Hi I’m looking to make a Cadbury fruit and nut cheesecake and can’t find a recipe at all, do you think it would work with this if I chopped up some fruit and nut bar and just added it in the batter?

    Absolutely delicious and easy to make. I used Freddo Faces instead of buttons on top. Wish I could post a photo. Looks amazing!

    My son requested a chocolate cheesecake, instead of a regular birthday cake, for his 13th Birthday, so I had a look online for recipes and chose yours because it seemed the best one, and it was amazing! Thank you so much for this recipe, it was easy to make and turned out perfectly! The Cadbury’s chocolate made all the difference, you can really taste it. I have to confess though, that I used a little bit of non-Cadbury chocolate on it, as my son asked for Maltesers instead of Buttons as the decoration on top! But other than that I followed the recipe to a “T” and the whole family loved it. Everyone’s first reaction when they tasted it was “Ohhh…. my God!!!” . It was his birthday yesterday, and today there is only the tiniest bit of the cheesecake left….. and it won’t be around for long! Thanks so much for the recipe -x-

  14. Louise on April 13, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    Hello, would it be possible to use 50 50 of cream cheese and mascapone?

  15. Charlotte on April 11, 2021 at 6:25 pm

    Hi Jane 🙂 I use so many of your recipes and recommend them to everyone I know! Just out of curiosity, how come it needs to be full fat double cream?
    Thanks, Charlotte

    • Charlotte on April 11, 2021 at 6:26 pm

      Sorry, I mean cream cheese



    • Jane's Patisserie on April 13, 2021 at 8:31 pm

      It needs to be full-fat so the cheesecake sets!! x
