Step‑by‑Step Instructions for No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
Start by crushing the dark chocolate Digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Melt the unsalted butter until it’s completely liquid, then combine it with the biscuit crumbs in a mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to set.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature full fat cream cheese together with icing sugar until smooth and lump-free, being careful not to overmix. Gradually add the double cream while continuing to mix until soft peaks begin to form, which creates that luscious, creamy texture essential for our No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake. Gently fold in the chopped Mint Aero chocolate and peppermint extract to introduce that delightful minty flavor.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
Once your biscuit base has chilled and firmed up, pour the minty cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Use a spatula to carefully smooth the top, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Now, place the assembled cheesecake back into the refrigerator, allowing it to set for at least 6 hours, or better yet, overnight for the best texture.
Step 4: Decorate Before Serving
After the cheesecake has fully set, prepare to decorate. Whip any remaining double cream together with a touch of icing sugar until it forms soft peaks. Use a piping bag to artfully pipe this cream onto the top of your cheesecake for a lovely finish. Finally, adorn with Mint Aero bubbles for an attractive and festive touch, making your No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake even more enticing!

No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake Recipe FAQs
How do I select the right mint chocolate for this cheesecake?
Absolutely! For the best flavor, I recommend using Mint Aero chocolate as it provides the perfect balance of mint and chocolate. If you can’t find it, Andes Mints or Junior Mints are great alternatives. Just make sure whatever chocolate you choose is fresh and not overly soft, as that can affect the filling’s texture.
How should I store my No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake?
To enjoy your cheesecake at its best, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure it’s well-covered to keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing any other odors.
Can I freeze No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake?
Absolutely! To freeze, wrap the cheesecake tightly in cling film and then cover it with aluminum foil—this prevents freezer burn. You can freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving. For added flair, top it with fresh whipped cream post-thaw.
What if my cheesecake filling turns out lumpy?
No worries, this happens sometimes even to the best chefs! To prevent lumps, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If lumps occur, use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until smooth. If your cheesecake has already set, you can blend it in a food processor if you’re aiming for a creamier texture before serving.
Can I make this cheesecake dairy-free?
Certainly! To modify this No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake for dairy-free diets, try using vegan cream cheese and coconut whipped cream. For the crust, ensure that your biscuits are dairy-free or opt for crushed nuts mixed with coconut oil as a base. Adjust any sweeteners accordingly, and you’ll have a delightful dairy-free dessert!
Is this cheesecake suitable for dogs?
No, this No Bake Mint Aero Cheesecake isn’t safe for dogs. Ingredients like cream cheese and chocolate can be harmful, as chocolate is toxic to dogs. If you want to share a treat with your furry friend, consider making a special dog-friendly dessert using ingredients that are safe for them like pumpkin or peanut butter.
