No Bake Chocolate Cheese Cake




Desert Marathon Day 6:


I had decided that the last 3 recipes in my desert marathon were going to be chocolate based. Once I was sorted with that I so wanted the cheese cake to be a part of it, adding chocolate to it was a bonus! Both children and adults love cheese and chocolate and if both are amalgamated into one recipe, its going to be polished off the plate in no time, glasses to be more specific here! 

Usually cheese cake is poured into a spring form pan and left to bake. Since this is an easier no fuss no bake version you can still use the spring form pan and leave to refrigerate. But I preferred pouring it into glasses, no reason, just liked the idea than the commonly used method.

Ingredients:

20 Bourbon or Oreo biscuits 
Butter 60gms 
Cream Cheese 200gms 
Castor sugar 50gms 
Pouring cream 150ml 
Dark chocolate 200gms 
Cocoa powder 2tbsp


 Cooking Process:


1: Blend the biscuits and melted butter in a food processor until a muddy mix is obtained. Press this down at the bottom of a wide mouthed glass and leave to set in the freezer for 1/2 hour.

2: Beat the cream cheese and castor sugar until its blended well.

3: Melt the dark chocolate and set aside.

4:Boil 2tbsp of water and add the cocoa powder and set aside.

5: Beat the cream until smooth peaks are formed and add in the melted cocoa powder and dark chocolate and mix well.

6: Add the above chocolate mixture into the cream cheese and fold in gently.

7: Pour into glasses and leave to set in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

8: Remove 10 minutes before serving and garnish with any topping you prefer such as whipped cream or grated chocolate. I used the left over biscuit mix.
