Time

It takes 20 minutes for preparation. Allow 30 minutes for chilling the biscuit crust and 3 hours for the cheese cake.

Freezing

Once the cheesecake has set, open freeze until solid then remove from the tin and wrap in cling film or foil. You can store for up to 1 month. To serve, unwrap and then defrost over-night in the fridge. Decorate the top with fruit or chocolate just before serving.

 

Watch Point:

When swirling the chocolate into the cheese, take skewer right down to the bottom to give a marbled effect right through.
