Step by step easy no bake five ingredient chocolate quark cheesecake recipe with McVities Digestives Nibbles #McVitiesNibbles #Ad

This is a really easy but visually impressive dessert you can make in under 2 hours. The actual hands on time is barely more than 15 minutes and there are only five ingredients. If you like you can make the cheesecake ahead or just make the base the day before then add the topping. I’ve given instructions below for doing it in one go using the freezer but if you’re in less of a hurry chilling overnight in the fridge is fine.

There’s nothing to stop you eating it this before the quark mix has firmed but if you want tidy slices I recommend slight patience. You could always nibble at the McVitie’s Nibbles topping in the meantime.

First blitz some McVitie’s Digestive biscuits in the food processor to make crumbs. In a small mixing bowl mix the crumbs with melted butter. Press the crumbs down into an 8inch springform or loose base baking tin which has been lined with parchment paper. Press the buttery crumbs down flat and when completely cool pop into the freezer for 20 minutes or so to firm up.

Meanwhile melt the chocolate in a double boiler (or carefully in the microwave). A few spoonfuls at a time, whisk the quark into the chocolate until completely mixed. When the quark mix is cooled pile it onto the biscuit base.

Then spread the quark chocolate mix with a small spatula so it is flat-ish.

Then push McVitie’s Nibbles into the chocolate quark mix covering most of the surface. Chill in the freezer for an hour to firm up – or the fridge if you’re not in a hurry.

I have used a mix of McVitie’s Nibbles, they come in four varieties; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel and double chocolate. They’re available from all major supermarkets RSP £1.89 per 120g bag.

Once the cheesecake is firm and ready to serve, remove the paper surround and transfer to a plate. For extra visual interest you can scatter over more McVitie’s Nibbles that have been cut in half.

I won’t tell if you nibble a few before presenting it to your friends!

Have you seen the McVitie’s Nibbles ad yet? Do you recognise the music?
