Method

  1. 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.

Used white choc and put the raspberries on top instead of mixing them in - everyone loves it!!! - Lovely cheesecake and so easy to make!

Wasn't that keen on it to be honest! Felt it was a bit too sharp/bitter for my taste buds. I thoroughly enjoyed the mixture before I added the chocolate. Not my favourite cheesecake recipe I'm afraid :(

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?

Very easy and delicious! As suggested by others I whipped the cream and cake set perfectly.

This was delicious. I used lighter digestives and lighter philly was just as rich and tasty.Loved the crunchy choc amongst the soft filling. So easy too

I used low fat soft cheese and even after 7 hours it didn't set. Tasted delicious and dinner guests loved it, but after reading other reviews I realise that I should have used tablespoon of flour or gelatine.

I've made this for Easter. You definately have to have the cream thickened so that it will set. I used a 300g pack of choc digestives as I wanted a thicker base. It won't look anything like the picture however even with minimal stirring! Great quick desert! It's worth a go!!

Made this cheesecake with Elmlea double cream, low fat cheese and washed the raspberries before using - was this this reason that the cheesecake did not set properly. Want to make this again but do not want it to turn out the same, any suggestions please.

is cheesecake and a bit of a dissappointment - why did it not set properly? was it because l used Elmlea long life cream, low fat cheese or was it because the raspberries were not quite dry from washing them. i want to make again but do not want the same results.

Delicious - but didn't look anything like the picture! I would suggest stirring the rasberries and melted chocolate in very, very slowly and gently to avoid the brownish pink sludge that I got. Still managed to eat it though!

Great recipe, but used white chocolate instead and used more biscuit in the base to give a better ratio of cream to biscuit yummy!!!

Used this recipe to make my first ever cheesecake.. It came out perfect for my valentines dinner, took the leftover to work the following day and they all loved it too. Spectacular was one of the comments! Will make again and going to try and add some caramel in there somewhere.

SO easy, SO delicious. Be sure to whip the cream and cheese mixture until it is fairly stiff or it will end up too runny.

I've just made this and it's delicious! The raspberries made it less sweet and complemented very well with the chocolate in the cheesecake mixture! It is also the easiest cheesecake I have ever made. I will definitely be making this again and again.
