This Mint Aero cheesecake is dangerously easy to make - no baking, just layers of buttery biscuit, creamy mint filling, and that iconic bubbly mint chocolate crunch you won’t be able to resist.
Line a 9" spring form pan with a greaseproof paper circle on the bottom (use the base of the pan to draw and cut out then use a tiny bit of butter to stick the greaseproof paper down to the base)
Make Cheesecake Base
Melt 200 g butter in a small bowl in the microwave for 60 seconds in two 30 second bursts
Blitz up 400 g digestive biscuits in a food processor until they resemble a crumb, or alternatively place them in a sealed food bag and use a rolling pin or the back of a large spoon to crush them
Combine melted butter and crushed biscuits to make the cheesecake biscuit base
Flatten down the biscuit base into the pan and either use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to flatten down and place into the fridge to set whilst making the cheesecake filling
Make Cheesecake Filling
Add 250 ml double cream and 160 g icing sugar into a bowl and whisk until stiff peaks are formed
Add 500 g mascarpone cheese, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and green food colouring and whisk again until fully combined
Take cheesecake base from the fridge and add the whipped cheesecake mix on top and spread out evenly to cover the base fully
Use the back of a large spoon or rolling pin to gently crush 92 g mint aero bubbles by placing them into a sealed food bag - sprinkle on top of cheesecake mix
Place in the fridge for 2 hours (minimum) or ideally overnight
