Ingredients:
- 300g of crushed biscuits
- 200g of melted butter
- 2 tbsp of cocoa powder
- 250g of mascarpone cheese
- 300ml of whipped cream
- 100g of powdered sugar
- Crushed peanuts for garnish
- For the caramel:
- 100g of sugar
- 70g of butter
- 150ml of whipped cream
Instructions:
- Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter and cocoa powder. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a 24cm round springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator to set.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mascarpone mixture over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill while you prepare the caramel.
- To make the caramel, gently heat the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, allowing it to dissolve slowly. Avoid stirring to prevent crystallization. Once the sugar has dissolved and turned a golden color, add the butter and stir until melted.
- Carefully pour in the whipped cream (it may bubble up) and stir until the mixture is smooth. If any sugar lumps remain, strain the caramel to remove them.
- Allow the caramel to cool completely, then pour over the cheesecake filling.
- Sprinkle crushed peanuts over the top of the caramel.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
