Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For Gluten Free Base
  • 320 g gluten free graham crackers or gluten free digestive biscuits
  • 150 g butter melted and cooled.. or at least very soft
For Cheesecake Filling
  • 560 g full fat cream cheese
  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300 ml whipping cream (33%)
  • 300 g chocolate chips, Hershey eggies, or anything else! optional (and best chopped up)

Equipment

  • 1 8 inch Springform pan
  • 1 Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Digital scale optional but very helpful

Method
 

  1. I used a box of pre-crushed gluten free crackers for this recipe but if you are using whole crackers you will need to crush them or put them in a food processor first.
  2. Melt and cool your butter. Mix butter and graham cracker crumbs together and press flat on the bottom of the 8 inch springform pan. Place in fridge for 30 minutes while you make the filling.
  3. In a stand mixer or bowl (with a hand mixer) mix together your cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Add in the whipping cream and mix together with the whisking attchment for about 2 minutes. DO NOT OVERMIX or the cheesecake wont set as nicely in the fridge. Optional: Fold in any additional ingredients at this point (ex. chopped chocolate chips, strawberry jam or Hershey eggies).
  5. Place the filling on top of the chilled base and spread it flat in the pan.
  6. Chill in the fridge for 5 hours or overnight.
