Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g Digestive biscuits
  • 135 g Butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 750 g Full fat cream cheese
  • 175 g Icing sugar
  • 40 g Cocoa powder
  • 300 ml Double cream
  • 65 g Dark chocolate
  • 65 g Double cream (for ganache)

  • 1/4 tsp Sugarflair superwhite powder (optional, sieved)

Instructions

  1. Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.
  2. Mix the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs and press into the bottom of a 23 cm springform tin. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, icing sugar, and cocoa powder, whisking until smooth.
  4. Add double cream and whisk until thick enough to hold its shape.
  5. Pour the filling onto the biscuit base, smooth the top, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. For the dark chocolate ganache, microwave chocolate and cream until melted, then spread over the cheesecake.
  7. For the white chocolate ganache, repeat the melting process, adding whitening powder if desired, and pipe a swirl onto the cheesecake.
  8. Use a cocktail stick to create a spiderweb pattern.
  9. Remove from the tin and serve, optionally with fresh berries or whipped cream.

Notes

Allow the cheesecake to cool and set properly for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
