Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 120 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 500 grams cream cheese, room temperature
- 150 grams caster sugar
- 200 grams dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 150 grams dark chocolate (for ganache topping)
- 150 milliliters heavy cream (for ganache topping)
Instructions
Line a 23cm (9-inch) square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring the edges overhang for easy removal.
Place the digestive biscuits in a food processor and blitz into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a bowl and combine with the melted butter. Mix until evenly coated.
Press the biscuit mixture firmly and evenly into the base of the prepared tin. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and caster sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the melted dark chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat again until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a clean finish.
Return the tin to the refrigerator and allow the cheesecake layer to set for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
To make the ganache topping, heat the heavy cream (150ml) in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the dark chocolate (150g) to the cream. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it evenly over the chocolate cheesecake layer. Smooth the surface with a spatula and chill in the refrigerator for an additional 2 hours to set the ganache.
Once fully set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the cheesecake slice out of the tin. Slice into 12 rectangles or squares.
Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent chocolate cheesecake slice!
