    Method

    • step 1

      Grease a 23cm spring form cake tin or alternatively you can use individual ramekins (as I have in picture) These quantities will make 12 individual cheesecakes or one large one. Place biscuits in a plastic bag and bash with rolling pin until fine.
    • step 2

      Place butter in pan and heat over low heat until melted, add biscuit crumbs and stir until fully mixed.
    • step 3

      Remove from heat and put into base of cake tin, squash down firmly and put in fridge to set for 1 hour.
    • step 4

      Place cream cheese, caster sugar and vanilla in bowl and mix together. If you want a plain cheesecake you can add the zest and juice of a lemon and/or orange at this stage. Whisk cream in a separate bowl until soft peak stage. Crush honeycomb and stir in. Add to cream cheese mixture and fold in.
    • step 5

      Place mixture on top of chilled biscuit base. Put in fridge to set for about an hour. Sprinkle top with crushed flakes or some of the honeycomb.

    Great recipe. I made a couple of changes to it. Used icing sugar instead of castor in case it tasted gritty. I also spread a thin layer of Carnation tinned caramel over the top before sprinkling on the remaining Crunchie. Took it to a whole new level. Absolutely delicious.

    This is a fantastic recipe! Have made this several times and everyone who has tried it has adored it. The one problem is that it's too moreish!!

    Left cheesecake for over 24 hours in the fridge to set, and it sunk when removed from the tin :0( not sure why as I followed the recipe to a tee, did still taste nice though.

    This is unbelievable, so easy to make and tastes delicious. I made it 2 weekends ago and can't stop thinking about it, I have a wedding on Friday so havn't made it so I can fit into my dress (this cheesecake has a million calories in it!) but will be making it for Saturday, sooooo exited to eat it…

    I made this yesterday, my first ever cheesecake was so excited about making it, just taken it out of the tin and it's not set :(, I did the honeycomb recipe without the lemon juice, sooo disappointed, tastes nice, just looks a mess..I don't know why it didn't set.
