Ingredients

For The Cheesecake

• 250 g Digestive Biscuits
• 140 g Salted Butter
• 4-5 Large Heaped Spoons / 200g Nutella
• 250 g Mascarpone Cheese
• 50 g Caster Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 225 ml Thick Double Cream
• 1/2 Cadbury's Flake

For The Salted Caramel

• 100 g Granulated Sugar
• 45 g Salted Butter
• 60 ml Thick Double Cream
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions

• Line an 8" loose bottom tin with baking paper.
• Crumble the digestive biscuits into a bowl and then crush them into crumbs with the end on a rolling pin or a wooden spoon.
• Then melt the butter and ad it to the crushed biscuits and mix well.
• Tip the biscuit mix into the tin and press down using a fork or your hand and then pop it into the fridge for 10mins whilst you make the topping.
• In a large bowl beat together the mascarpone, vanilla and caster sugar until smooth.
• In a separate bowl or mixer, whisk the cream until stiff.
• Then add the whipped cream to the mixture and fold it in carefully until completely combined and put to one side.
• Remove the biscuit base from the fridge and spoon the Nutella over it, using the back of the spoon to spread it evenly across the biscuit.
• Then add the cream mixture and spread it out with the back of a spoon, making sure to get it as smooth and even as possible.
• Put it in the fridge for at least 5 hours until set & whilst the cheesecake sets make the salted caramel.
• Put the sugar into a small saucepan and heat it over a medium heat, making sure to stir it constantly with a wooden spoon.
• The sugar will form lumps and will burn if you stop stirring, but it will eventually turn into a thick brown liquid.
• When the sugar has completely melted, add the butter straight away and continue to stir until it is completely melted
• Then slowly, drizzle the cream into the mixture still constantly stirring, which will cause the mixture to bubble.
• Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute and then remove from the heat and stir.
• Sprinkle over the salt and mix thoroughly, then put to one side to cool.
• When the cheesecake it completely set, remove it from the tin and carefully peel away the baking paper, the best way to do this is by placing the tin on a mug and pushing down on the tin.
• Place the cheesecake on a plate and crumble the flake over the top of it.
• Finally mix the salted caramel and the drizzle it over the top of the cheesecake & enjoy!

Notes

You will have some salted caramel left over, this can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks for future use.
