How to Make British Chocolate Cheesecake

  1. Line an 8-inch springform tin with greaseproof paper, ensuring it extends slightly up the sides.
  2. Melt the 100g butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir in the crushed 200g digestive biscuits until well combined.
  3. Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the prepared tin to create an even layer.
  4. Melt the 200g chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the softened 250g cream cheese and 250g quark (or substitute) until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the melted chocolate.
  6. Add the 200ml double cream and 100g icing sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  7. Carefully pour the chocolate mixture over the biscuit base and spread evenly.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
  9. Once set, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform tin and serve. Enjoy!
