Instructions
Base
Preheat the oven to 200ºc/180ºfan and line a 9x13" baking tray with parchment paper.
Blitz the biscuits to a fine crumb.
Melt the butter in a separate bowl, and then mix into the biscuit. Press the mixture into the bottom of the lined tin.
Bake the biscuit base in the oven for 10 minutes.
Cheesecake
Once the base has been baked, lower the temp of the oven to 180ºc/160ºfan - leave the biscuit base on the side for now.
In a bowl, melt the dark chocolate until smooth - I do this in the microwave in short bursts.
In a new large bowl, add the full-fat soft cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Add the eggs, beating well as you go, and add in the caster sugar. Beat this until combined.
Add in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract and beat again to combine.
Fold through the cooled melted dark chocolate until smooth.
Add in the double cream, and fold again until smooth.
Spread the mixture over the baked biscuit base. Bake the cheesecake bars in the oven for 35 minutes.
Leave the cheesecake bars to cool in the oven with the door slightly adjar, for an hour
Remove the tin from the oven, and set the cheesecake bars in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours.
Decoration
Once the cheesecake bars have set, remove carefully from the tin.
Drizzle over some dark chocolate for decoration, and sprinkle on some chocolate curls. Leave this to set and then portion, and enjoy!
Notes
You can make the base chocolate-themed by adding 25g of cocoa powder to the biscuit mixture.
I really would recommend using dark chocolate - don't worry, it doesn't taste 'bitter'.
These cheesecake bars last 3+ days in the fridge.
