1 packet of Digestive biscuits crushed.

120g unstaled melted butter

28 KitKat fingers.

Place the biscuit mixture into the tin inside the KitKat tower.

Then take a spoon and press the mixture down firmly to secure the KitKats.

For the Cheesecake:

In a bowl add in the double cream and whisk till it becomes thick and smooth.

In a separate bowl add in the cream cheese and icing sugar and whisk until it becomes smooth.

Add the whisked double cream to the cheese cream mixture and whisk again till it becomes smooth and thick.

Now spread the mixture inside the KitKat tower and smooth it over with a spoon.

Place the KitKat tower in the fridge for a minimum of 5 hours to allow it to set.

Place the bowl inside the microwave for 30 second to let the mixture melt.

Pour the melted mixture over the top of the cheesecake and smooth it over with a spoon.
