For those not watching their calorie intake this Easter, ‘Instagram famous’ baker Eloise Head has shared her wildly popular recipe for ‘no bake’ Rolo cheesecake, which can also be made without using an oven. 

The London chef, who became a social media sensation during the first Covid lockdown in early 2020 by sharing photos of simple but decadent desserts, makes the cheesecake with basic ingredients such as butter, cream, sugar and biscuits.

How to make the ‘No bake’ Rolo cheesecake

 

Ingredients

For the base

350g digestive biscuits, crushed

180g unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake

350ml double cream, cold

500g cream cheese

120g icing sugar

120g Carnation caramel

For the topping

150g Carnation caramel

21 Rolos (approx)

Method

1. Mix 350 grams of Digestive biscuits with 180 grams of melted butter and stir until the two have combined into a buttery crumb.

2. Press the mixture into the base of an eight inch cake tin and leave in the fridge.

3. Whisk 350ml of double cream, then in a separate bowl mix 500 grams of softened cream cheese with 120 grams of icing sugar and 120 grams of Carnation caramel.

4. Once mixed, spoon the creamy caramel over the cooled biscuit base and leave it to set in the fridge for at least five hours.

5. When the cake has set, load it with a further 150 grams of Carnation caramel, decorating the edge with about 20 Rolos. 

To make the base, she starts by mixing 350g of Digestive biscuits with 180g of melted butter, stirring until the two have combined into a buttery crumb.

Ms Head then presses the mixture into the base of an eight inch cake tin which she leaves in the fridge while turning her attention to the filling.

After whisking 350mL of double cream, she takes a separate bowl and mixes 500g of softened cream cheese with 120g of icing sugar and 120g of Carnation caramel, which is sold in leading supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths.

Once mixed, Ms Head spoons the creamy caramel over the cooled biscuit base and leaves it to set in the fridge for at least five hours.

When the cake has set, she loads it with a further 150g of Carnation caramel, decorating the edge with about 20 Rolos. 

Ms Head said it’s best to keep the cheesecake in the fridge after adding the topping to ensure the caramel fully sets.

‘I found it sliced better after being the the fridge for several hours again,’ she added.
