Baileys Chocolate Cheese Cake

Had this made for me yesterday, thanks Kev!
Ingredients

  • 100g butter
  • 300g Chocolate digestive biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons of honey/golden syrup
  • 250g mascarpone cheese
  • 225g Philadelphia/cream cheese
  • 250g plain Chocolate
  • 200g cream
  • 200mls Baileys
Method
  1. Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  2. Meanwhile melt the butter. When melted add the honey. Then add the biscuits to the butter mixture and mix well.
  3. Press the biscuit mixture into the base of your greased - loose bottom based - cheesecake tin. Leave this in the fridge to set while you make the rest of the cake.
  4. Melt the chocolate in the microwave (be careful it burns easily here) or in a bowl over a small pot of water. leave to cool slightly
  5. Put the two types of cheese into a bowl and mix well, then add the baileys. If you use an electric whisk it makes a more even and light mixture.
  6. Whip the cream in a separate jug until it's stiff.
  7. Add the chocolate to the cheese mixture and combine well, then fold the cream lightly into this mixture a spoonful at a time.
  8. Pour this over the biscuit base and chill in the fridge for 2/3 hours or overnight is even better, If you can wait that long.
Think I'll have to get another slice after writing all about it................
