Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature (1 package, about 250gm)
  • 8 oz. COLD whipping cream 1 cup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla essence
  • 1/4 cup grinded/caster sugar
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice

Ingredients for Crust

  • 150 gm Digestive biscuits about 13-15 biscuits
  • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. powdered sugar
  • 85 gm melted butter

Ingredients for Chocolate Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 oz or 2 tbsp. butter 30g
  • 4 tbsp. sugar
  • 4 tbsp. Cadbury's cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. cream
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. corn flour more for thicker sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla essence

Instructions
 

  • Crush the digestives either in a plastic bag with a rolling pin or in a processor. Then add the cocoa powder and sugar, pulse or mix until combined. Add the melted butter and mix well.
    Press in an 8″ spring form pan. Cover and chill the base in the refrigerator whilst you prepare the cheesecake filling.
    Whip the cream until peaks. Cover and refrigerate.
    Add the sugar and lemon juice to the cream cheese. Mix well until the cream cheese no longer has any lumps and the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not rush past this stage, take your time. 
    Once the cream cheese is smooth smooth SMOOTH, get the whipped cream from the refrigerator and add it into the cream cheese. Add the vanilla. Now, using a whisk, mix the two until the mixture is smooth, stiff and thick. You can use an electric or hand mixer at this stage but be careful NOT to over-beat it as the whipping cream might curdle if you do that.
    Pour the mixture onto the prepared crust, cover with cling film and allow to set, at least 5 hours but preferably overnight.
    Now you can prepare the sauce. (Alternatively, you can use any ready-made sauce like Hershey’s chocolate sauce)
    For Chocolate Sauce
    Blend together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder and corn flour with a whisk until a smooth paste has formed.
    Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat over a medium heat until the mixture begins to boil.
    Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
    Remove the pan from the stove and add the butter. Stir the butter until it melts and blends into the sauce mixture.
    Finally, add the vanilla essence and the cream and stir well.
    Make sure the chocolate sauce is completely cool before drizzling over the cheesecake.
    Enjoy!!
