Ingredients

For the biscuit base

  • 300 g Digestive Biscuits
  • 125 g Butter or baking spread melted

For the cheesecake filling

  • 750 g Full fat cream cheese
  • 125 g Icing sugar
  • 300 ml Double cream
  • 30 g Cocoa powder
  • 75 g Mini marshmallows I used Freedom Mallows which are gelatine free and suitable for vegetarians

For the decoration

  • 200 ml Double cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Icing sugar
  • 75 g Milk chocolate melted
  • Mini marshmallows I used Freedom Mallows which are gelatine free and suitable for vegetarians
  • Crushed flake bar or grated milk chocolate

Instructions

  • To make the base use a food processor to whizz up the biscuits into crumbs, or bash them with a rolling pin in a bowl or freezer bag
  • Mix the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs, and press the mixture into the bottom of a 23cm springform tin until compact and even. Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to set, or while you make the filling
  • For the cheesecake filling use a food mixer with a whisk attachment or an electric hand whisk to mix together the cream cheese, cocoa powder and icing sugar until smooth with no lumps
  • Add the double cream and whisk until it is very thick and holds it's shape
  • Gently fold in the mini marshmallows
  • Smooth the mixture into the tin on top of the biscuit base, then put it in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to set
  • Remove from the tin and put on your serving plate. Smooth the sides with a butter knife to create a neater finish
  • To decorate, melt the milk chocolate and pipe or drizzle it all over the cheesecake
  • Then whip up the double cream with the icing sugar and vanilla, and pipe it all around the edges of the cheesecake
  • Sprinkle more mini marshmallows all over the cheesecake, and either crush up half a flake bar and sprinkle that over, or grate milk chocolate over it
  • Serve immediately, store any leftovers in the fridge and eat within 2 days
