2.For the base: Roughly break up the digestive biscuits and put them in a food processor with the cocoa powder. Process until finely ground.
3. Slowly pour the melted butter into the processor while the motor is running. Press this mixture into the base of a 23-cm springform cake tin greased and base lined with greaseproof paper.
4. Press this mixture inot the base of the prepared cake tin, using the ball of your hand or a tablespoon to flatten and compress it. Refridgerate while you make the topping.
5. Put the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a electric mixer or use a handheld electric whisk and beat on slow speed until you get a very smooth, thick mixture.
6. Add one egg at a time while still mixing. Scrape any unmixed ingredients from the side of the bowl after adding the second and last eggs.
7. Mix till smooth and creamy, the mixer can be turned up to a higher speed at the end of to make the mix a little lighter and fluffier. Be careful not to overmix or the cheese will split.
8. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don't allow the base of the bowl to touch the water).
9. Spoon a little of the cream cheese mixture into the melted chocolate, stir to mix then add a little more. This will even out the temperatures of the two mixutures. Eventually stir all the cream cheese mixture chocolate mixture until combined.
10. Spoon the mixture onto the cold base. Put the tin inside a deep baking tray and and fill with water util it reaches two-thirds of the way up the cake tine. Bake for 40 -50 minutes, checking regularly after 40 minutes.
11. Don't overcook it should be wobbly in the centre. Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then cover and refridgerate overnight before serving.

No no....I don't like whipped cream either...creamy things in general are a no no. EXCEPT MASH. Mash is love.
but do you like cheesecake, before you learned what was in it?

Oh cream cheese makes more sense than 'block' cheese, it's yummy anyways!
Ah I totally forgot there was a bouncy castle room. I used to jump so high on them, it's always the funniest when you get caught off balance

Mash is amazing, don't understand how some people can't like it. Unless it's got lumps in

I am actually obsessed with mash!! Since I learned to make it a couple years ago i've been insane with mash haha. I want to open a drawer in the kitchen here and there to be a potato peeler that will do the peeling for you.

If someone else makes mash and there are lumps I am not too fond, but if i've made it then I don't mind so much. I like my own cookery imperfections haha.

I just went food shopping with my Dad
Made a list before we went.
Forgot the list.
Came back without about 40% of the stuff on the list.
And about 20 things that weren't.
This is a regular occurence.
Wait, do we need to go shopping for this house or not?

But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
It's fun! But can go horribly wrong when you get to the mashing stage, there's nothing more stressful than having to try to salvage potatoes.
