Ingredients
Scale
- 200g digestive biscuits
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 400g cream cheese
- 200g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300ml double cream
- 100g dark chocolate, melted
- 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
- For the topping: caramel sauce, chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan to ensure easy removal later.
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix them thoroughly with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to create a solid base.
- Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Whip the double cream until soft peaks begin to form, being careful not to overwhip.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining its fluffy texture.
- Stir the melted dark chocolate into the mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared biscuit base, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until set with a slight jiggle in the middle.
- Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
- Remove the cheesecake from the pan, drizzle with caramel sauce, and garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for best texture. Don’t rush the cooling process for perfect setting.
