Chocolate Cheesecake with Marshmallow Topping
This Chocolate Cheesecake with Marshmallow Topping is a show-stopping dessert made with dark chocolate, cream cheese and a buttery biscuit base. The Thermomix melts the chocolate gently without burning, blends the cheesecake filling until silky, and grinds the biscuits into fine crumbs, delivering a café-quality finish with minimal effort.
About this recipe
Chocolate Cheesecake Thermomix TM7 recipes bring patisserie quality into your own kitchen, and this version with its toasted marshmallow topping is one of the most impressive desserts you can make with an all-in-one kitchen machine. The base combines rich tea and shortbread biscuits with unsalted butter and cocoa powder for a crumb that stays crisp beneath the filling. The Thermomix melting function gently warms the dark chocolate so it never seizes, while controlled mixing folds cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and eggs into a silky, lump-free batter. A quick blast under the grill turns the marshmallow layer golden and gooey. Whether you are searching for a festive dessert for a birthday table, a make-ahead treat for a dinner party, or simply the best chocolate cheesecake recipe made in a Thermomix, this one delivers deep chocolate flavour and dramatic presentation with far less effort than a classic bain-marie method.
Preparation tips
- Use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs before blending the filling; cold ingredients can cause the batter to split and give a grainy texture instead of the silky finish you want under the marshmallow layer.
- Grind the rich tea and shortbread biscuits separately from the sugar so the crumbs stay uniform, and press the buttery base firmly into the tin with the back of a spoon for a crisp, sliceable foundation.
- Serve the cheesecake straight from the fridge but toast the marshmallow topping just before presenting; a cook's blowtorch gives more control than the grill and prevents the filling from softening too quickly.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free version: replace the rich tea and shortbread biscuits with gluten-free digestives or oat biscuits, keeping the same weight of unsalted butter so the base still sets firmly around the chocolate filling.
- Festive peppermint variation: add a few drops of peppermint extract to the cream cheese filling and crush candy canes over the toasted marshmallow layer for a Christmas-worthy dessert that looks stunning on a holiday table.
