Instructions

1. Make the Biscuit Base

Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin.
Mix with melted butter and malted milk powder, then press into a 9-inch springform pan.
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, malted milk powder, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the cheesecake mixture.
Stir in crushed Maltesers for extra crunch.
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to firm up.

Chill for 30 minutes before slicing.

5. Enjoy! 🍰

No malted milk powder? Skip it, or replace with extra cocoa powder.
Make it extra fancy: Drizzle with white chocolate or crushed Maltesers before serving!
