Method

  1. Whizz the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor and mix with the melted butter. Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a 20cm springform tin.
  2. Beat the mascarpone with the vanilla until smooth. Very softly whip the double cream with the kirsch then mix with the mascarpone. Finally, fold in the melted chocolates and cherries.
  3. Spoon into the tin, swirl the mix a bit on top so you leave indents for the cherry syrup to go on top, and chill overnight.
  4. Make a chocolate collar following the step-by-step guide.
  5. Serve with some of the syrup from the jar and extra cherries if you like.

    Quick question: How far ahead have people made this cheesecake? I'm hoping to make it on Boxing Day morning to serve the following evening - does everyone think this will be ok?
