Directions
- Prepare the base: Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Crush the biscuits until fine crumbs form and combine them with the melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a cake tin (around 20–23 cm / 8–9 inch) and set aside. Chill slightly to firm up while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the double cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently stir in the chopped Mars Bar pieces.
- Assemble the dessert: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours or overnight for best results.
- Add toppings: Once set, drizzle the melted caramel sauce evenly over the chilled dessert. Decorate with the remaining Mars Bar pieces and chocolate shavings for a visually appealing finish.
- Serve: Slice carefully with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts to keep neat edges. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing, indulgent treat.
