• To Make the Cheesecake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of the 8" springform pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease bottom (parchment) and sides. In a bowl combine the ground cookies, ground almonds (almond meal) and the melted butter. Stir to thoroughly combine. Firmly press the cookie mixture into the base and sides of the prepared pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the golden syrup, salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and beat until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the biscuit shell.
• Place the springform pan in a baking dish and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the pan. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove cheesecake from the baking dish and allow to cool in the tin. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.
• To Make The Caramel Sauce: Place the cream, butter and sugar in a saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high, bring to the boil and cook for 5-7 minutes or until thickened and becomes the color of caramel. Set aside and allow to cool completely.

SALTED CARAMEL NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Tip the digestive biscuits into a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Pour in the butter and caramel sauce and pulse again until damp and sandy. Tip the mixture into a 20cm springform cake tin and use a spoon to press it into an even layer in the base of the tin. Chill for 30 mins.
• For the filling, mix together the soft cheese, salted caramel sauce, sugar and vanilla extract. Once the base is cold and has firmed up, spoon over the filling and smooth the top with the back of the spoon. Chill for at least 4 hrs. If making ahead, wrap the cheesecake and freeze for up to three months instead. Leave in the fridge overnight to defrost.
• To serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin and put onto a serving platter or cake stand. Scatter over the shop-bought chocolates, crushing a few of the malted milk balls, then drizzle with the salted caramel sauce before cutting into slices.
