Serves 8

Ingredients

1 pot of Chococo 47% Colombia milk chocolate drops (140g)

1 pot of Chococo 80% Uganda dark chocolate drops (140g)

½  pot of Chococo 36% Colombia white chocolate drops (70g)

200g Digestive biscuits, crushed into fine crumbs

75g Butter, melted and slightly cooled

400g Cream cheese

Icing sugar to taste

1tsp vegetable oil

½ tsp vanilla extract



Method

  1. Mix crushed biscuits and butter together in a bowl using a wooden spoon until well combined.

  2. Spoon the mixture into a 23cm/9 inch springform tin and press down hard all the way round the edge and the middle.

  3. Separately, mix the cream cheese, vanilla extract and icing sugar into a bowl, keep tasting until happy.

  4. Melt the milk and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

  5. Pour a quarter of the chocolate into a separate bowl and stir in the oil.

  6. Gently and slowly fold the rest of the chocolate into the cream cheese until well combined and smooth.

  7. Scoop the cheese mixture on top of the biscuit base. Flatten out across the top until no gaps remain.

  8. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins.

  9. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and make sure it gets nice and runny. Add a small amount of vegetable oil if required and put into a piping bag.

  10. Remove cheesecake from the fridge and work fast to pour the milk/dark chocolate to completely cover the top.

  11. Immediately pipe a white chocolate spiral on the top and use a toothpick to draw a line from top to bottom, left to right and diagonally both ways to create your spiderweb effect.

  12. Run a sharp knife around the cheesecake and remove from tin.

  13. Tuck in!

Optional: If you wanted to, leave a small amount of the milk/dark mixture to pipe a spider onto baking parchment. Add white chocolate drop eyes and pupils. Place into the centre of the spiderweb.
