An ‘Instagram famous’ baker who built a following of 642,000 during lockdown has shared her simple recipe for Mars bar cheesecake – no baking required.
Eloise Head, 26, is the founder of FitWaffle Kitchen, an Instagram recipe page where she posts videos of decadent desserts that take just a few minutes to prepare.
The amateur chef from London posted a tutorial showing viewers how to make an indulgent caramel cheesecake flavoured with the iconic soft nougat-filled chocolate using seven basic ingredients.
Ms Head makes the dessert with 230 grams of Mars ($5), 300 grams of plain biscuits ($3.95), 150 grams of unsalted butter ($5), 480ml of double cream ($3), 500 grams of cream cheese ($5.50) and 200ml of caramel sauce ($4.50), all available from leading supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths.

To make the base, Ms Head crushes the biscuits and stirs them into a saucepan of melted butter, then presses the buttery crumbs into the base of a 9 centimetre tin.
For the filling, she whisks the cream with icing sugar and cream cheese before adding chunks of Mars into the mixture.
She spoons the filling over the biscuit base and leaves to set in the fridge for six hours, minimum.
Once set, she drizzles ready-made caramel sauce over the top, allowing it to flow down over the edges to coat every inch of the cake.
She decorates with leftover chunks of Mars bar and sprinkles grated chocolate over the top to finish.
A video of the cheesecake has racked up 8,250 likes since it was posted Saturday, with impressed viewer simply writing: ‘Good god.’
Another said: ‘This is awesome, best one yet.’
Others asked Ms Head to share more recipes for unique flavours of cheesecake, with one suggesting a white chocolate and pistachio creation.
In April, the baker told Daily Mail Australia she was ‘very proud to help people keep occupied’ at a time when strict social distancing laws forced billions to stay home worldwide.
