Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by crushing the digestive biscuits in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix the melted butter and cocoa powder into the crumbs until combined. Firmly press the mixture into the base of a 23cm springform tin, ensuring it's even, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, icing sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix until completely smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add double cream and whisk until thickened, about another 3-5 minutes, creating a luxurious texture.
- Spoon the thickened cheesecake filling onto the chilled biscuit base. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin and smooth rough edges with a butter knife.
- Combine dark chocolate and 65 ml of double cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in intervals until melted and smooth.
- Spread the warm dark chocolate ganache over the cheesecake, letting it flow to the edges.
- In another bowl, combine white chocolate and 15 ml of double cream. Microwave until melted and silky.
- Transfer white chocolate ganache into a piping bag and create a swirl pattern on the cheesecake.
- Use a cocktail stick to create a spiderweb design by dragging from the center to the edges of the cheesecake.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
