A delightful fusion of two classic treats, these bars feature a crunchy, chocolatey rocky road base topped with a velvety smooth cheesecake layer. Finished with a chocolate drizzle and festive mini eggs, they are the perfect no-bake dessert for Easter celebrations.
Prepare a 20cm square baking tin by lining it with baking parchment. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, 175g of the dark chocolate, and the golden syrup. Stir occasionally until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, then remove from the heat.
Place the biscuits in a large bowl and crush them with a rolling pin until you have a mixture of fine crumbs and small chunks. Add the dried fruit, chopped nuts, and mini marshmallows. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top and stir until everything is thoroughly coated.
Transfer the rocky road mixture into the prepared tin. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly into an even layer. Place the tin in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes until softened. Meanwhile, heat the double cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to steam. Squeeze the excess water from the gelatine leaves and drop them into the warm cream, swirling until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
In a clean bowl, beat the soft cheese and caster sugar together until smooth. Gradually fold in the cooled cream and gelatine mixture, ensuring there are no lumps. Pour this cheesecake filling over the chilled rocky road base, spread it evenly, and return to the fridge for at least 1 hour or until the cheesecake layer is set.
Melt the remaining 25g of dark chocolate in the microwave using 20-second bursts, stirring in between. Drizzle the chocolate over the set cheesecake and immediately scatter the mini chocolate eggs on top. Slice into squares and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
For a cleaner slice, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between each cut. If you prefer a tarter flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice to the cheesecake mixture. These bars can be made a day in advance and will stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days.
