Method
Step 1
Grease and line the base of a spring-form 20cm (8”) cake tin and grease the sides.
Step 2
In a food processor, blitz the biscuits until they are crumbed.
Step 3
Melt the butter and then combine the two to form the base mixture.
Step 4
Tip this mixture into the cake tin and use a spoon to even out and push down the base to compact.
Step 5
Transfer to the fridge to cool and set.
Step 6
Meanwhile, prep the cheesecake mixture. Melt the white chocolate completely in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water.
Step 7
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the maple syrup and small pinch of salt.
Step 8
Fold in the melted chocolate carefully and then pour the mixture into the cake tin, on top of the biscuit base.
Step 9
Smooth over with a spoon and place in the fridge to firm up for at least 30 minutes.
Step 10
Once the cheesecake topping has firmed up to the consistency of firm peanut butter, run a warm palette knife around the inside edge of the cake tin to release the cheesecake.
Step 11
Remove it from the tin and place on a platter or board. Top with blackberries, raspberries and sparklers if it is a special occasion.
Step 12
Serve immediately, and keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
