Baked double chocolate cheesecake

Ingredients

170g butter, melted
250g biscuits, finely crushed
2 x 250g tubs smooth cream cheese
250ml thick fresh cream
100g castor sugar
20ml vanilla extract
240g good quality white
chocolate, melted
3 eggs
50g good quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
icing sugar, to dust
cocoa powder, to dust
fresh cream, to serve

Instructions

Lightly grease a 22cm springform baking tin with 10ml of the butter and line the base with greaseproof paper.

Combine the biscuits and the butter. Press firmly over the base and sides of the tin. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until required. Preheat oven to 160°C.

Place the cream cheese, cream, sugar and vanilla in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the white chocolate and eggs, and process until well combined.

Sprinkle the base with the dark chocolate and pour the cream cheese mixture over. Smooth the surface and bake until the cake is just set in the centre, about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven, with the door ajar, for 1 hour or until cooled completely.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Dust with icing sugar and cocoa powder, slice and serve with a dollop of cream.
