    Great recipe! My son doesn't like biscuit base though, so I substituted this for a chocolate sponge cake base and it was lovely - very light and fresher than the biscuit base. Weigh two eggs with shells on, weight out SR flour, caster sugar, butter or margarine to the same weight as the eggs. Put all ingredients plus 30gms cocoa powder into a bowl with the eggs (shells off) and mix to an even consistency. Put into a lined 20cm tin and cook in oven at 190 degrees for about half an hour. Let this cool before making the topping and pouring into the tin over the sponge base. (You may need to slice a little off the top of the cake base to flatten it before pouring the mixture over).

    This was certainly very quick and easy, I made it with my 12yr old son.. We used a terrys chocolate orange and galaxy cookie crumble choocolate mixed with a 80% cocoa dark choc. We decorated the top with flakes crumbled. We used double the butter as others suggested and around 2 tablespoons of golden syrup to help bind together. We made two little ones in ramekins to taste as the main pud is for tommorrow! Fingers crossed! Looks great though.. Little ones tasted delicious..thumbs up so far! 4 out of 5 as proportions need tweaking a little.

    Very good recipe but it came out a bit too solid so I used 300g of mascarpone and substituted the cream cheese for double cream (whipped) and it came out much softer!!

    Extremely easy to prepare ... It took me more time shopping for ingredients than preparing the cheesecake... I added a little pecan nuts and more butter to the base to make it thicker .. Seems to hold quite well ! As for the swirls I mixed only half the dark chocolate to the mixture and I didn't flatten out in the tin with utensils I shook the tin for the mixture to fit the Tin instead. I poured the rest of the dark chocolate in blobs on top of the mixture and stirred in with a skewer .. Got a brilliant marble effect !! I made a little extra one for myself for testing and can't wait to share the whole thing with my friends tomorrow :)

    Well I haven't eaten it yet, but mine just looks like a load of chocolate resolidified onto a biscuit base so not too impressed so far. And yes I used the right measurements etc

    Deeelish!! Easy to make and everyone LOVED it! Only thing I'd say is that the base was a little bit too crumbly, but should be solved by adding a little bit more butter to the biscuit base mix. Definitely will be making again!

    Made this this morning and after reading all the comments and having experienced a similar issue of mixing in melted chocolate into cream cheese I decided to warm the cheese mixture. It is virtually impossible to mx the cheeses together if you use full fat 'proper' cream cheese without beating and this breaks up the mascarpone cheese I have tried that too,! I found that if you warm the cheese mix for 15 seconds in the microwave there is absolutely no problem with adding the chocolate and then making the swirls ( careful not to over warm) it turns out just like the picture

    This recipie was lovely, very easy. I stired a little too much, and forgot that the spreading in the tin would also blend the chocilates, to get the proper marbling effect but it stil came out lovely. It was a little shallow and next time I might increase the topping amounts but given it was so rich I'm not sure. I drizzled about half a sppon of left over melted dark choc for a decorative effect which work really well. Was greatfully recieved by my dinner party guests :)

    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!

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

    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.

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