Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Tim Tams: You can use any flavor you like—original, caramel, or double chocolate all work well.
Gelatin: This helps the cheesecake set more firmly, but you can skip it if you prefer a softer texture.
Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives the best texture. Low-fat versions may result in a runnier consistency.

Whole Chocolate Drizzle Cheesecake with Chunky Toppings

Equipment Needed

Food processor (or rolling pin and ziplock bag) – to crush the biscuits
Springform pan (8 or 9-inch) – for easy removal
Electric mixer – to blend the filling smoothly
Mixing bowls
Spatula
Small saucepan (if melting chocolate for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

Crush the Tim Tam biscuits in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
Add the melted butter and mix until combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even layer.
Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
If using gelatin, dissolve 1 tsp of gelatin powder in 2 tbsp of boiling water, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the cheesecake mixture.
Fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Chop Tim Tam biscuits into small chunks and gently fold them into the filling.

3. Assemble & Chill

Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.

4. Garnish & Serve

Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the cheesecake for an elegant finish.
Crush or chop extra Tim Tam biscuits and sprinkle them on top.
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and serve!

Tips & Variations

For an extra chocolate hit, add melted chocolate to the cheesecake mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
To make mini cheesecakes, divide the mixture into individual serving glasses or cupcake liners for easy portions.
For a caramel twist, use caramel-flavored Tim Tams and drizzle caramel sauce on top.
Gluten-free version? Use gluten-free biscuits for the base and swap Tim Tams for a gluten-free alternative.
