Instructions
- Line a 20 cm springform pan and press the crushed cookies mixed with melted butter firmly over the base. Chill until firm.
- Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Blend in the melted 70% chocolate, then fold through the whipped cream until evenly combined.
- Spread the filling over the chilled base, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours until set.
- Pour the warm cream over the chopped ganache chocolate, stir until glossy, cool slightly, and spread over the cheesecake.
- Chill again until the ganache is set, then slice with a warm dry knife and serve.
Notes
Use chocolate containing about 70% cocoa so the filling sets firmly without gelatine.
