Incredibly easy no-bake caramel marshmallow cheesecake dessert, filled with mini marshmallows and laced with caramel on a crunchy cookie base. A Perfect chilled dessert and quick to make. This Caramel Cheesecake is a fun cheesecake to make and put together.

It involves a bit of bashing, a bit of mixing and a bit of chilling..and you're all done! No baking, no cooking, just bash and mix.

I love caramel! I also love marshmallows and chocolate! So I decided to combine them all and make a dessert that would be easy, yet eye eye-catching and look a million dollars...

So let me introduce to you my Caramel Marshmallow Cheesecake. You can be as creative as you like with this recipe.

Show off your artistic flair, let your kids decorate the top, whether you're a great artist or not, it really doesn't matter as this cheesecake is full of surprises, and the more random you can decorate, the better it looks!

As you look at the recipe you will see I added surprises inside the cheesecake too, so with every mouthful you get a chewy little marshmallow and a blob of caramel.....if you don't tell anyone, watch their faces when they first take a bite, they will be surprised and say 'oooohhhhh' I am sure!

For this recipe, I've used mini Maltesers to decorate the top. You can add them to the filling also, however, be aware they do have a tendency to go a bit soft due to the moisture in the filling, so I suggest you stick to the filling as below, and sprinkle mini Maltesers or crush the large ones and sprinkle on the top so they stay nice and crispy.

Instructions

1. Cut out some parchment paper and line the base of the tin. 

** If you are using a spring form tin, I clip the parchment paper in & lock the tin.

Then cut the excess paper off.

2. If you have large marshmallows, chop them into mini ones.

If you are making your own Dulce De Leche (caramel) click HERE for instructions. This takes 2 hours to turn into caramel and you need to allow it to cool before using in this recipe so make it the night before or early in the day before you make the cheesecake.

3. Place all your digestives / Graham Crackers in a zippy bag, and using a rolling pin bash them until they become fine crumbs.

3. In a mixing bowl (large enough to hold the digestives) melt the butter for 30 seconds in the microwave. It should be liquid. If not, heat for a further 10 seconds, or until it has completely melted. 

Add the crumbed digestives to the butter and mix very well until it is all incorporated.

4. Lightly (vegetable) oil the base of your tin if using a large tin. Transfer the digestives mixture to the baking pan.

5. Use the bottom of a glass or other object and compress the digestives mixture as much as possible. The harder it is the less likely it will come apart when you take it out of the pan. Use the back of your hand and go along the edges pushing the mix down and compressing.

6. Add the icing / powdered sugar (if using) to the cream and whip up until just before stiff. Add the cream cheese and mix in well.

7. Brush the side of the tin all around with some vegetable oil or spray to prevent the pie from sticking. then add the filling just like in the photo below.

8. Transfer HALF of the cream mixture to the tin smooth, and then randomly place half the marshmallow pieces all over and using a teaspoon, place blobs of caramel all over the cheesecake.

Maybe 7 or 8 blobs. Then take a knife or the handle of a teaspoon and swirl the caramel around a little.

Then on top of the marshmallows, you can add extra blobs of caramel if you like and leave them as blobs.

9. Add the other half of the cream cheese mix, smooth over and then go wild!

Add the rest of your marshmallows, chocolate bits and caramel. Do whatever splashes and blobs, sprinkles and drops wherever you like!

10. Place in the fridge for 4 hours MINIMUM.
