Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your Toblerone Cheesecake:

Prepare the Crust:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
3. Press the Crust: Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly.
4. Bake the Crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely. If you prefer a no-bake option, you can skip the baking step and refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes instead.

Prepare the Filling:

5. Melt the Toblerone: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 1/2 cups of chopped Toblerone chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
6. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract and continue to beat until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy.
7. Add the Toblerone Chocolate: Fold the melted Toblerone chocolate into the cheesecake mixture. If you want an extra touch of sweetness, add 2 tablespoons of honey.
8. Pour the Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Chill and Decorate:

9. Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight chilling works best for a firmer texture.
10. Prepare the Topping: Before serving, chop the remaining Toblerone chocolate into small pieces. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream until warm, then drizzle it over the chopped Toblerone pieces. Stir until smooth and glossy.
11. Top the Cheesecake: Drizzle the Toblerone chocolate mixture over the chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with additional chopped Toblerone for decoration.

Additional Tips for Toblerone Cheesecake

Here are some tips to make sure your Toblerone Cheesecake is perfect every time:

• Use Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help avoid lumps and create a smoother filling.
• Chill Long Enough: For the best texture, make sure to chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, but overnight chilling is recommended for a firmer result.
• Don’t Skip the Cooling of the Chocolate: Allow the melted Toblerone chocolate to cool slightly before adding it to the filling. This ensures it won’t melt the cream cheese mixture.
• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure both the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream are at room temperature to ensure a smooth and lump-free filling.
• Decorate Just Before Serving: To keep the chocolate topping fresh and glossy, add it just before serving.
