    I've never made a chocolate cheesecake before and this recipe was perfect to start with, very simple with few ingredients. I think to obtain the best marble effect would be to tip the milk chocolate mixture into the tin before adding the dark chocolate and swirling just before putting in the fridge, I did it all in the bowl and it looked fine, when I tipped it all into the tin it mixed up as I was spreading over the base. But the look didn't effect the flavour at all which was very rich and chocolatey, will definitely be making again!!

    Divine! Everybody loved it. The second time I made it I added some pieces of cooked apples to make it a bit lighter. Absolutely delicious!

    I made this some months ago and ALL my children loved it somewhat. I have a chronic condition so I can't bear to stand in the kitchen too long BUT this really was quite quick to make and it tasted like heaven, I have in fact never seen my children enjoy anything more! I'm going to make this for my sons birthday as it is approaching, he's going to be thrilled.

    I increased the mascarpone to 300g and added 50g ginger nut biscuits to the digestives for the base along with 1oz more butter. So easy and quick to make and tastes fantastic. I think the trick to the marbling is mixing the cream cheese and mascarpone well before folding in the milk chocolate gently with a spatula, then adding the dark chocolate, giving it just a couple of turns.

    Having read about the difficulty in getting the swirling effect right without overmixing, I tried putting it in the tin before adding the dark chocolate and then swirling it in situ. I DON'T recommend this method! I ended up with an interesting effect, though not the one in the picture. Froze it to save for the Christmas period. Froze well and tasted wonderful. It really doesn't seem to matter what you do to this recipe, it works anyway! 5*, no doubt about it.

    I'd never made a cheesecake before, but this was EASY and tasted good too. I lined the bottom of the tin with baking paper and greased the sides with butter. I used slightly more biscuits and increased the melted butter to 75g as when I was mixing it, it didn't seem like it was binding well. I put it in the tin and let it chill in the fridge while I made the filling. I only used 230g of milk chocolate (I used Galaxy) as this was all I had but I used good quality Green & Blacks 85% Cocoa Solids dark chocolate which easily made up for it and certainly didn't taste like it was lacking anything. I didn't manage to get the marbled effect but I'm sure with practice it will come. I dusted it with cocoa powder which made it look pretty and left it to chill in the fridge overnight. I let it stand at room temperature for an hour before serving. The base stayed together well and it was delicious! I will definitely be making this again!

    I made this but adapted it abit, the first time I made it following the recipe but added 25ml of baileys liquor, it went down an absolute treat everybody loved it. I also threw on some chocolate covered honeycomb pieces and drizzled melted chocolate sauce over the top. The great thing about this recipe is that it is so adaptable; the last time I made it I used 400g milk chocolate and I was abit lenient on the measures of soft cheese & mascarpone, as long as you put roughly the right amount in it comes out fine. I mean it though try adding the baileys it is too die for! And you also get to lick out the bowl after.

    This is a gorgeous naughty cheesecake and was marvellously simple to make. Only needed a thin slither as it was very rich. I also did't get a marbled effect despite ny careful folding efforts, think it went wrong when I levelled it - it didn't matter as it still tastes lovely!

    Great recipe. Very rich cheese cake, love it! I think it needs a bit more butter than the recipe says but other than that it was fab. Tastes delightful.
