Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 200 g chocolate digestive biscuits crushed into fine crumbs
  • 75 g unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
For the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling
  • 800 g full-fat cream cheese softened
  • icing sugar to taste, start with 3–4 tablespoons
  • 400 g milk chocolate melted and cooled (35% cocoa solids)
  • 1 tsp neutral vegetable oil to keep chocolate smooth
For the Topping
  • 50 g white chocolate for decoration

Method
 

  1. Mix the crushed chocolate biscuits with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the base of a lined 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Melt the milk chocolate gently over a double boiler until smooth. Reserve about one quarter of the melted chocolate, mix it with the vegetable oil, and set aside for topping.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with icing sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the remaining melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, mixing well after each addition until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Spoon the chocolate cheesecake filling over the chilled base and spread evenly. Chill for 20 minutes to slightly firm up.
  6. Melt the white chocolate. Pour the reserved milk chocolate over the cheesecake, then pipe white chocolate lines on top and drag a toothpick through to create a decorative pattern.
  7. Chill the cheesecake for at least 2 hours until fully set. Release from the pan, slice, and serve.

Notes

For a deeper chocolate flavor, replace 100 g of the milk chocolate with dark chocolate. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free chocolate cookies for the crust. Avoid freezing with decorative toppings for best texture.
