This White Cheesecake is a no-bake, creamy delight layered over a crunchy white chocolate and puffed rice base. With bits of Turkish delight, pistachios, and a smooth coconut-infused filling, it’s a showstopping dessert that’s simple to make yet irresistibly elegant.

Ingredients

1 1/2 x 180 g blocks white chocolate, chopped

3 cups puffed rice cereal

1/2 cup desiccated coconut

3 x 55 g Turkish delight chocolate bars, chopped

1/3 cup chopped pistachios

Whipped cream, to serve

Extra chopped Turkish delight, to decorate

Red M&M’s and mini M&M’s, to decorate

Silver cachous, to decorate

White mini marshmallows, to decorate

Filling:

500 g cream cheese, softened

2/3 cup caster sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

50 g coconut milk powder

3 tsp gelatine powder

2 tbsp boiling water

300 ml thickened cream

Instructions

  1. Grease and line a 22 cm springform pan and a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Melt white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine puffed rice, coconut, Turkish delight, and pistachios. Pour over the melted chocolate and mix to coat.
  4. Press two-thirds of the mixture into the prepared pan as the base. Spread the rest onto the lined tray and refrigerate both until firm.
  5. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add coconut milk powder and mix until combined.
  6. Dissolve gelatine in boiling water, let stand for 1 minute, then beat into the cream cheese mixture. Add thickened cream and beat until slightly thickened.
  7. Pour filling over the prepared base, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until set.
  8. Remove cheesecake from the pan, place on a serving plate, and decorate with broken clusters of the reserved base mix, whipped cream, Turkish delight, M&M’s, marshmallows, and cachous. Serve chilled.

Notes

Replace Turkish delight with white chocolate chunks or dried fruit for variation.

Add macadamias or almonds for extra crunch.

Use lime zest instead of coconut milk powder for a tropical twist.

Make ahead and add toppings just before serving for freshness.

For perfect slices, dip your knife in hot water between cuts.
