Method
- Crumble the digestives in a food processor, add the melted butter and mix well. Place in a 20cm flan ring with a push-up base and pat down with the back of a spoon. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or a glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Mix the cream cheese, cream and sugar together until smooth. Add the raspberries and stir in, then add the melted chocolate and quickly swirl through. Spoon into the flan ring and smooth the top with a palette knife, then place in the fridge and chill for 2 hours. Serve dusted with icing sugar and a little melted chocolate if you like.

Comments, questions and tips
Comments
I used single light cream instead of the double to reduce the saturated fat content and the cake never set. I tried adding some flour as some people had suggested to help it set but it did not work. I was disappointed as the comments were very encouraging and thought it would be successful. I had to throw it away...I will not try it again.
Sorry, but this was disgusting and my guests actually refused to eat it after a couple of bits. Very sad at this as it was my first ever pudding for them and it's put me off doing another in the future, due to fear of something like this happening again.
Instructions on how to make are fine but personal they could be more refined. I followed the recipe to the letter and all I got was a cream cheese, raspberry and chocolate pile of gloop.
Everything set ok, but it just tasted like it was missing something and a little too much like cheese. Also, it came out and was not described anything like the photo shown!
Can't see how everyone seems to rave about this. Either you're making a completely different cake or you don't mind crap tasting food?
