Toblerones were my favourite chocolate growing up and I usually always buy my Dad one of those enormous versions every year for Easter.
But this year I think this No Bake Toblerone Cheesecake will be a great replacement.
Toblerone Cheesecakes are notoriously pricey to make so they are strictly for special occasions only – but they do taste A-MA-ZING and are worth the splurge! They are great for a birthday cake or special occasion. This one is good because you don’t need to use an oven.
Remember that our No Bake Toblerone Cheesecakes can be frozen (in fact, you can even serve this frozen in Summer for a cold dessert). If you have never heard of Toblerone Chocolate, it is a fancy chocolate bar from Switzerland that is infused with honey and almont nougat. Very decadent.
About Our Recipe for No Bake Toblerone Cheesecake:
We used Philadelphia Cream Cheese that had been allowed to sit on the kitchen bench for 30 minutes before using so it is slightly softened.
There are three distinctive layers for our No Bake Toblerone Cheesecake, the crumb base, the creamed cheese chocolately filling, and the heavy cream chocolate icing.
When melting the Toblerone, use a microwaveable bowl or a water bath. It is very easy to burn chocolate!
We used a Food Processor to make the crumb base, but if you don’t have one, you can use an electric mixer or just crush the biscuits in a food proof plastic bag and a rolling pin (take out your anger on those chocolate biscuits!).
Make sure you place the Toblerone Cheesecake in the fridge to chill, preferably overnight before serving.
Garnish the top of the Cheesecake with fresh raspberries, leftover Toblerone Chocolate (if you have any) and almond slivers.
When cutting the Cheesecake to serve, heat your knife under hot water for a minute or so – this makes the cut ‘cleaner’.
