25g/1oz caster sugar
500ml double cream

line 23cm round loose base or springform cake tin

Handy Hint

tesco's oaty biscuits work just as well this is lovely with strawberries or raspberries to decorate but equally nice all on its own

Method

Make biscuits into crumbs and mix with melted butter.
Spoon and press into base of tin and chill in fridge while making the filling.

Melt chocolate in bowl over simmering water and leave to cool until tepid.

Beat soft cheese and sugar together until smooth and then stir in cooled chocolate.

Whip cream into very soft peaks and gently fold into chocolate mix.

Spoon into tin, smooth over top and pop in fridge for at least 2-3 hrs but at least overnight.

Take out of fridge 15-30 minutes before serving.

I made this at the weekend and added some passion fruit curd.....wow! Very easy to make and looks fabulous the only problem I have is not making it too often!!!

delicious and very easy to make. I made it in a 20cm tin as that was all I had so had a bit of topping spare but no problem really. It set beautifully and was lovely served with fresh raspberries and blueberries.

Made this last night for a party. Can I just say a huge THANK YOU! Tasted divine and everyone raved about it. Fab easy recipe too. Will be using it lots and lots in the future. I used a 21 cm tin and it turned out lovely and thick - served at least 12. Thanks again, would certainly recommend it!
