Baked chocolate cheesecake
The Fairlady staff tasted this cheesecake and we can confirm that it's absolutely divine!
200g chocolate digestive biscuits (we used McVittie Original Dark Chocolate)
50g butter, softened
200g Cadbury’s Bourneville chocolate
100ml double cream
2 organic eggs
85g castor sugar
500g (2 tubs) creamed cottage cheese
To serve
100g Lindt Lindor slab (optional)
1 Lightly grease the sides of a 20cm diameter springform tin and preheat the oven to 150°C.
2 Roughly break up the biscuits and process in a food processor along with the butter until crumbly but
coming together.
3 Press into the base of the tin.
4 Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of just-simmering water and stir in the cream.
5 Whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Beat in the cottage cheese, fold in the chocolate and cream mixture and pour into the tin.
6 Bake for one hour and then switch off the oven and leave to cool.
7 For a completely decadent chocolate cheesecake, melt the slab of Lindor (as with the other chocolate) and drizzle over the top before serving.

This is really decadent and SINFULL !Vida Opperman
Hi, I tried this and it is indeed a treat. However I have suspicions that mine was a bit of a flop. It is rather thin and very dense, should I have whisked the eggs longer? I also let it bake for about 15 minutes longer as it was still very wobbly after an hour, could that have caused it to fall flat? Would you guys say that a baked cheese cake is ready when it starts pulling away from the sides or does that only count for normal cakes. Thanks in advance.farah
looks deliciousChrissie
This looked devine, so I had to try this out. I love chocolate, but not the dark variety, so this had too much of a wrong-chocolatey taste. However, my friends enjoyed it so it was worth the try! I left the cake in the oven to cool off overnight (with the door open), which avoided the wobblyness in the centre which often happens.Pauline
Sounds yummy, want to try this at Christmas.Suzie
I tried this recipe this weekend! My husband ate basically the whole cake, he couldn't get enough... although I did top mine with fresh strawberies to add a little crisp freshness to the sweetness of the chocolate. It was all round divine and very easy to make! Thanks for the recipe, next I'm trying the strawberry whoopie pies! :)Doreen
