Tips for Making our Thermomix Mars Bar Cheesecake
We use 7 x 47 gram Mars Bars for this recipe. You can also use 'fun size' Mars Bars.
When melting the Mars Bars, it's best to melt the Mars Bars from room temperature.
You can substitute the Oreos in the base of this recipe for Chocolate Ripple biscuits if your prefer.
The mixing times may vary depending on the softness of your cream cheese and Mars Bars. I suggest using cream cheese and Mars Bars which are both at room temperature and are soft.
We recommend making this Mars Bar Cheesecake the day before you plan to serve it, while it will set in approximately 8 hours, for best results you want to leave it overnight.
For best results allow the cheesecake to set overnight.
FAQ
In Australia, a Mars Bar is a chocolate bar filled with caramel and nougat.
It is essential to wait a minimum of 6 - 8 hours for your cheesecake to set. Removing it any earlier will result in a soft and runny cheesecake.

I commented on this recipe before, but presumably, those concerned with this website do not like any negative comments and therefore, did not post. I am therefore posting again!!
The end product of this recipe has a good flavour and is surprisingly not too sweet. However, that is really where the positives end as I do wish before posting recipes to this and other sites, people would thoroughly test timings, ingredients etc, before posting, as this recipe is not at all accurate.
Step 2 - 2 minutes, 60 degrees, speed three - you aren't going to melt butter at that temperature and at that speed in 2 minutes - all you do is spread softened butter up the sides of the bowl - you need at least 3 minutes at 95 degrees at speed 1.
Step 5 - firstly the step requires 4 Mars bars, and yet two have been cut up in step 1 and you have 5 left, so should the instruction read 5 Mars bars or is the extra Mars bar just a chef's perk? Whether 4 or 5 there is no way you are going to melt that quantity of Mars bars in 3 minutes at 60 degrees - you need at least 7 minutes and then check.
In the notes, you are recommended to make this cheesecake the day before you need it so that it can set overnight but also states that it "will set in approximately 8 hours". This is just totally incorrect. I placed this in the fridge at 11 am on Thursday and served at 1 pm on Friday (26 hours) and it was still more or less liquid. Next time I will certainly be adding at least one leaf of gelatine to this recipe.
Can Thermobliss please ensure that submitted recipes in the future are checked before they are posted.

Thanks for your feedback Ian. As mentioned in the notes the time taken to melt/mix ingredients can be impacted by the temperature of the ingredients being used and additional time may be required. I have also updated the ingredient list/notes to ensure it is very clear where all of the Mars Bars are used. Thanks

Is it Oreo biscuits or chocolate ripple that you need? Ingredients say Oreo and recipe says ripple? 🙂
Tash says
Hi Alex,
The recipe says you can substitute Chocolate Ripple biscuits in the text before the recipe, but the instruction has been clarified to be Oreo (or chocolate ripple) biscuits.
