Philly Toblerone Cheesecake

Okay, so I am going to put it out there and tell you that I love Mondays. Yes, I know we are supposed to be united in our hatred of Monday, but I am fortunate in that every Monday night I get together with my husband and four of some of our best friends for dinner. We each take turns at hosting dinner, and this Monday it was our turn.

One of my favourite things about our dinners is that I get to make new dishes. I am particularly fond of trying new dessert options, Nathan had suggested a Toblerone cheesecake a few weeks ago and because our main meal wasn’t too rich, I thought this was a good time to try it out.

This is one of those fantastic cheesecake recipes that you don’t need to bake, you make the base, mix the filling together and put it into the fridge to set – great when you are busy with work and all the other activities that get in the way of cooking and eating 😉

Like the last Philadelphia cheesecake recipe I made, this is pretty decadent and you won’t need much to feel like your chocolate craving has been satisfied.

Do you have a particular day of week you enjoy? And whats your favourite dessert to make when you have guests?

    Monday’s are my favourite day of the week too! But for me, it’s because I don’t have to work on a Monday! Love the easy, prep in advance desserts for a dinner party.
