By Jamie O'Brien

A rich, creamy baked cheesecake with the classic malty flavour of Milo. Simple ingredients, stunning result.

INGREDIENTS

• 454 grams cream cheese

• 3/4 cups thickened cream

• 1 cup of Milo powder

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

STEPS

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line an 8-inch springform cake pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix the batter: Combine 454 grams cream cheese, ¾ cup thickened cream, 1 cup Milo powder, three large eggs, and one tablespoon of vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined, then pour into the prepared springform pan.

3. Bake: Bake for 33 minutes. The centre will still be jiggly when done — that’s perfect!

4. Rest at room temperature: Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Do not skip this step — it helps prevent cracking.

5. Refrigerate overnight: Transfer to the refrigerator and chill overnight before slicing and serving.

NOTES

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.

• The jiggly centre will firm up as it cools and chills — don’t be tempted to over-bake.

• Serve as-is or dust with extra Milo powder on top for garnish.
