Caster Sugar – Golden caster sugar is my favourite for it’s slight caramel flavour, but regular caster sugar will work too. Make the buttercream by mixing the Malteser Teaser spread with icing sugar, butter and milk.Pipe it onto the cupcakes then top them with a Malteser Teaser chocolate each. Don’t go for expensive malted biscuits, I bought cheap as chips ones and as per Jane’s recommendations and it was still super yummy! Who can resist a finger of fudge? All you need is three ingredients – and the willpower to wait while they set in the fridge! Here’s the ingredients and tools you will need for this recipe – let’s break it down! CHEESECAKE BASEYou can spread the buttercream onto the cakes with a spoon or palette knife if you don’t want to pipe it. To make the base, mix crushed malted milk biscuits and melted butter together. Press them into the base of a springform tin. For the filling, mix cream cheese and icing sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth. Start by melting both chocolates, the golden syrup and butter together in a pan on a low heat. Then leave the mixture to cool for 10 minutes. Prepare the fillings and stir them together in a mixing bowl. Use a large knife to slice the chilled cheesecake, wiping the knife between each slice for neat edges. To make the buttercream, mix together the butter, icing sugar, malt powder, vanilla extract and milk until smooth. Put the first sponge on your serving plate and spread half of the Maltesers Spread over it, then pipe buttercream on top of the spread. Add the second sponge, spread the rest of the Maltesers Spread over it and pipe more buttercream over that. Decorate with Maltesers, both whole and crushed.
