Ingredients

  • 175 g Ginger biscuits
  • 75 g Butter
  • 400 ml Double cream
  • 400 g Full fat cream cheese
  • 300 g White chocolate Melted and then cooled to room temperature

To decorate:

  • 200 ml Double cream
  • 200 g White chocolate 12 chunks and the remainder grated

Instructions

  • About 2 hours before you want to start, bring your cream and cream cheese out of the fridge (see recipe notes).
  • Crush the biscuits (either with a rolling pin or in a food processor). Mix with the melted butter and press into your 7" tin.
  • Whip together the double cream, cream cheese and melted ROOM TEMPERATURE white chocolate until fully combined.
  • Smooth on top of the biscuit base and flatten the top with the back of a spoon or a palette knife if you have one.
  • Chill for 3 hours or, even better, overnight.
  • Use my knife tip (in recipe notes) to remove the cheesecake from the tin. Pipe the remaining whipped cream and decorate with grated chocolate and chocolate chunks.

Notes

Room temperature: Be SURE to let your melted white chocolate come TOTALLY to room temperature before adding to your mixture. This means, almost cold while still runny. This is really important, as if it's too warm, it will form clumps as soon as it hits the cold cream.
Cream cheese: Try to bring the cream and cream cheese to room temperature before using too. Full fat Philadelphia is by far the best for this job.
Removing the cheesecake from the tin: Run around the outside of the tin with a warm knife to easily remove the cheesecake. 
Decorating: To decorate, save 12 chunks of chocolate and grate the rest. Sprinkle the grated chocolate on top, then pipe 12 swirls and top with the chunks.
Consistency: The consistency of the cheesecake should be sliceable but not solid. Something like room temperature butter (it will give a little quiver if you wobble it gently).
If too runny: If it’s too runny it’s probably because your cream wasn’t whipped quite enough. No problem – pop it into the freezer for a few hours before serving.
