One day I was shopping in Aldi when I came across a coconut spread that I had never seen before. I was instantly intrigued, so of course I picked up a jar to try. When I got home and did a little taste test… oh my goodness, it tasted incredible. It had the most delicious toasted coconut flavour with a lovely crunch to it, and I instantly knew I needed to create a dessert with it.
That’s when the idea for these Bounty Cheesecake Cups came to mind. They’re creamy, chocolatey, full of coconut flavour, and honestly perfect for any Bounty lover. Every layer works so well together and the combination tastes just like your favourite chocolate bar in cheesecake form.

Biscuit Base- The biscuit base is made using Nice biscuits which give a subtle coconut flavour while keeping that classic buttery cheesecake texture. They pair perfectly with the creamy filling.
Coconut Cheesecake Filling- The filling is smooth, creamy, and packed with flavour thanks to the coconut spread. The flavour is slightly lighter and less intense compared to coconut cream, making it perfect if you prefer a more balanced coconut taste. If you love a stronger coconut flavour, you can swap the spread for coconut cream instead.
Chocolate Ganache- The ganache is made using a mixture of milk and dark chocolate. The milk chocolate adds sweetness while the dark chocolate balances everything out beautifully so the dessert doesn’t become overly sweet.
Bounty Topping- It wouldn’t be a Bounty cheesecake without chopped Bounty bars on top. They add extra chocolate, coconut flavour, and the perfect finishing touch.
For a quick and easy ganache, melt the chocolate first and then stir through cold double cream. Using cold cream helps the ganache cool down and thicken much quicker while still staying smooth and glossy. This also makes it easier to pour onto the cheesecakes without melting the filling underneath.
3oz Dessert Cups- Perfect for creating individual cheesecake portions that are easy to serve and great for parties or gatherings.
Digital Kitchen Scale- Helps accurately measure ingredients for the best cheesecake texture and consistency.
Flat Rolling Pin- Used to crush the biscuits into fine crumbs for a smooth and even biscuit base.
Measuring Jug- Makes measuring the double cream quick, easy, and mess-free.
Mixing Bowls- Needed for preparing the biscuit base, cheesecake filling, and ganache separately.
Spatula- Useful for folding ingredients together and smoothing the cheesecake filling neatly into the cups.
Electric Hand Whisk- Helps whip the cheesecake filling quickly until thick, smooth, and fluffy.
Store the cheesecake cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavour.
These no-bake Bounty Cheesecake Cups are creamy, chocolatey, and packed with coconut flavour. Made with a buttery biscuit base, smooth coconut cheesecake filling, and a quick chocolate ganache topping, they’re the perfect easy dessert for parties, birthdays, or weekend treats.
* For a stronger coconut flavour, replace the coconut spread with coconut cream.
