There are many versions of the humble cheesecake, but we've opted for this Irish Cream and Chocolate flavouring as it has a touch of alcohol in it!
This recipe is easy to prepare but will require some time to set in the fridge, so allow for that when you get started......

* 100g of grated chocolate
Ingredients

Preparation Method
1. Melt the butter in a pan and add the crushed digestive biscuits. Mix together well until the biscuits have absorbed all the butter.2. Remove from the heat and press the crumbled biscuits into the bottom of a lined 18cm springform tin. Now place in the refrigerator and allow to set for 1 hour.
