After reading some comments, I mixed 60g of melted butter and put the base in the fridge for an hour, turned out nice and hard and didnt crumble at all when served. Also for the swirl on the top, I saved a little of the dark chocolate back after i filled the tin then spooned it over the top and swirled it with a tooth pick! I think next time ill halve the topping, it was quite intense and I personally like the biscuit base best, nut I will defiantly make it again!

Can anyone tell me...did you just mix cheeses with a spoon or with a hand mixer? Thanks

Excellent, smooth cheesecake that was enjoyed by all who ate it. Very simple to make. For the base, I pressed with a spoon but also needed to layer a piece of grease proof paper and press down firmer with hands, as it seemed to move about a lot. I topped the cheesecake with a bar of Ripple crushed up and sprinkled over. Will be making this again.

I just cannot master a baked cheesecake so thought this would be great but I was disappointed. The base didn't hold together and the topping was too rigid for a cheesecake. Other's suggestions of less chocolate may work but there is another cheesecake I much prefer and its just as easy. It's chocolatey, hazelnutty and devised by the Kitchen Goddess Lawson.

Easy and yum!

So easy to make , tastes amazing one of the best cheesecakes I've made and im not usually a fan of non baked ones ,family loved it!

Made this last week and it looked like the picture!! I would recommend using a little more butter than suggested for the base as my base didn't set right, so it was more chocolate topping with bicsuit crumbs on the side- but tasted awesome!! I think the trick to the marbling is make sure the milk chocolate part is totally mixed before adding the dark chocolate bit and then when you do only gently stir it a couple of times before you tip it into the tin.

Perfection, though not for the faint hearted. The 400g of chocolate makes the topping very dense, i love it!

Delicious! More butter in the base though would have done well

I made this cheesecake today for the first time. MY first attempt at making a cheesecake wasn't good so I hunted around for one that was slightly more simple.

I followed the recipe, but I decided to be a little 'creative'. I used a teapsoon and drizzled some of the dark chocolate on the base and then put in the fridge while I melted the milk chocolate and mixed the cream cheeses together with an eletric whisk.

I added the milk chocolate to the room temperature cream cheese (after leaving it 5 minutes to cool slightly). put the cheese in the dish I was using. Rather than putting the dark chocolate on like they suggested for the 'marble' effect, I melted a bit more and poured the dark chocolate over the top of the cheese. Planning on adding some white chocolate or something to make it a little less plain.

Waiting til hubby gets in from work before trying any as I made it for him. Hopefully he likes it, if so I'll be making this again :)

Fabulous cheesecake! My husband is a cheesecake lover and he really loved this cake! I used more biscuits and butter for a thicker base and I added some cocoa to the biscuit mix to make it extra chocolatey! Such a easy recipe!

Absolutely easy recipe. Did not take any mountain of an effort to make it. I thought the 50 gms of butter with biscuits were a bit less, so i added 100 gms to 150/160 gms of biscuits. Otherwise the base turned out to be good. BTW, the butter is salted or unsalted? I used salted. Also when mixing the chocloates, I unfortunately did not get any streaks (as shown in the picture), but it actually mixed with the other chocolate. But it did taste quite good and is a hit with the family out here!! Thanks for simple recipe share.

quite disappointing I'm afraid, I made it precisely as the recipe suggested and the bottom was crumbly and didn't hold together or stick to the cheesecake mix, the top was far too rich but hardly tasted chocolaty at all :( what did I do wrong? It was gutting because we were all looking forward to it! We adore cheesecake! Should I have used better chocolate? Or more of it?

I made this for one of the Christmas desserts. It was well received but I personally thought it was slightly tangy from the mascarpone.

Made a 6-portion one for Christmas pudding. Used 17 cm tin, and 3/4 of each ingredient, and it came out lovely, almost like the pic, though the swirls were more like smudges.

Very easy to make, but far too rich and dense in texture for me. My guests agreed, so a little bit disappointing really.

This cheesecake is very easy to make and went down a treat! It is very rich and so I would suggest serving with fresh fruit, coulis or perhaps even with a sharp sorbet. Will definitely make again.

Fantastico! The dark chocolate went crispy on the top as it wasn't mixed with anything. Will definitely make this again!

A GREAT cheesecake! Used milk choc digestives for the base, Dairy Milk for the mik choc, and a little more butter than mentioned. Sets beautifully, guaranteed crowd pleaser!

I have made it for the first time ysterday - so yet to taste - I also could not get the swirl effect so i reserved some dark chocolate and decorated on top with it - very easy to do!
