Ingredient Note List

Galaxy Chocolate: The star ingredient that gives this cheesecake its signature rich, smooth flavor and beautiful chocolate color when melted and folded into the cream cheese mixture.

Cream Cheese: I always use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature because it creates the silky, luxurious base that makes this cheesecake so irresistibly creamy.

Double Cream: This heavy cream adds richness and helps create the perfect mousse-like texture when whipped to soft peaks and gently folded in.

Icing Sugar: Powdered sugar dissolves completely into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring a smooth filling without any grainy texture.

Vanilla Extract: A teaspoon of pure vanilla enhances the chocolate flavor and adds warmth to the overall taste profile.

Digestive Biscuits: These create the perfect buttery, slightly sweet base that contrasts beautifully with the rich chocolate filling above.

Melted Butter: Binding the cookie crumbs together, melted butter ensures your Galaxy Cookie Cheesecake has a firm, sliceable base that holds its shape.

Galaxy Chocolate Pieces: I love using these for decoration because they add visual appeal and extra bursts of chocolate in every bite.

How to Cook Galaxy Cookie Cheesecake

Step 1. I usually start by crushing the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin, then mixing them thoroughly with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2. Press this buttery crumb mixture firmly into the base of your 20cm springform tin, using the back of a spoon to create an even, compact layer that will support the filling.

Step 3. My grandmother always said to melt chocolate gently, so I use a double boiler or microwave at 50% power to melt the Galaxy chocolate, then set it aside to cool slightly before mixing.

Step 4. In a large bowl, I beat the softened cream cheese with icing sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5. I’ve found that whipping the double cream to soft peaks in a separate bowl gives the Galaxy Cookie Cheesecake its perfect light, airy texture.

Step 6. Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to overmix and maintaining that smooth, even color throughout.

Step 7. Add the whipped cream last, folding it in carefully with a spatula to preserve the light texture that makes this cheesecake so special.

Step 8. Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared cookie base and smooth the top with a spatula, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 5-6 hours or overnight until completely set.

Step 9. Once set, carefully remove from the springform tin and decorate with whipped cream, Galaxy chocolate pieces, and Galaxy Minstrels before slicing and serving.

How to Store & Reheat

I usually store any leftover Galaxy Cookie Cheesecake covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it stays fresh and maintains its perfect texture for up to 3 days. Make sure the cheesecake is completely set before covering to prevent condensation from affecting the smooth top.

For longer storage, this cheesecake freezes beautifully for up to 1 month. In my experience, slicing individual portions before freezing makes serving much easier later. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn.

For best results, I recommend thawing frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight rather than at room temperature. This gradual thawing process helps maintain the creamy texture that makes this Galaxy Cookie Cheesecake so irresistible.

What to Serve With Galaxy Cookie Cheesecake

Fresh Berries: The tartness of strawberries or raspberries creates a beautiful contrast to the rich chocolate flavor while adding a pop of color to your dessert plate — just as they do with my Black Forest Cheesecake.

Caramel Sauce: A drizzle of warm caramel sauce complements the Galaxy chocolate perfectly and adds an extra layer of indulgent sweetness.

Vanilla Ice Cream: In my kitchen, I often serve a small scoop alongside each slice because the cold, creamy vanilla enhances the chocolate without competing for attention — similar to how I serve it with my Wonder Monday Cheesecake.

Whipped Cream: Light, airy whipped cream provides a textural contrast and helps balance the richness of this decadent Galaxy Cookie Cheesecake.

Coffee or Espresso: The slight bitterness of coffee pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts, making this combination perfect for dinner parties.

Mint Leaves: Fresh mint adds a bright, refreshing note that cuts through the richness while providing an elegant garnish for special occasions.
