How to make chocolate cheesecake with mascarpone
- Place the biscuits into a bag and use a rolling pin to crush them finely - You can use a food processor if you have one.
- Combine with the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, the melted butter and mix everything well.
- Transfer the mixture to a round cake tin (mine is a 16X9cm), and use a a spoon to press the mixture down firmly into an even layer.
- Refrigerate while you get on with the cream.
- Melt the milk chocolate over a pan of simmering water, then add the mascarpone and use a silicone spatula to combine everything gently.
- Remove the tin from the fridge, spread the chocolate mixture over the biscuit base, then refrigerate again for at least an hour.
- Meantime, pour the double cream into a pan and add the dark chocolate to it, broken into pieces.
- Set the pan over a low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate melts, making sure you don’t boil it.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Spread it over the milk chocolate layer, and refrigerate again overnight, if not, for at least 4 hours.
- Once set, top it with grated white chocolate.
Tips and tricks
Having a cake tin with a loose base or detachable sides helps a lot, the cake will come out so much easier. I did not use parchment paper to cover the sides of my tin, since it's a non-stick one, but feel free to use some if needed.
Mascarpone is the perfect replacement for soft cream cheese, it's richer, denser, and a lot creamier, which makes it ideal for a silky cheesecake recipe.
I have made cheesecake before, but used soft cheese instead of mascarpone. And while that was delicious too, l find that mascarpone can never be beaten.

It's entirely up to you, you could also use half mascarpone, half soft cheese. Just make sure it stays in the fridge overnight, so that it sets beautifully.

Hi Ivette, thank you for your comment! Sorry, I seem to have omitted to add the vanilla extract to the instructions. It can be added to the crushed biscuits together with the cocoa powder and melted butter. I hope you will like the cheesecake, it's a favourite with us. Please do let me know how it turns out.
Brenda says
What are the measurements in cups?
Daniela Anderson says
Hi Brenda! Thank you for your comments!
I had to do a bit of research, as l am afraid in Europe we use grams and mililiters, and cup is standard of 250 g and l find it a bit tricky to convert in other units.
I'll list below all the ingrediends in american cups, l hope l'm doing it right.
The equivalent of digestive biscuits would be graham crackers, 200 g would be 1 cup
60 g butter - 1/4 cup
500 g mascarpone cheese- 2 cups
300 g milk chocolate- 1 1/2 cups
50 g white chocolate - 1/4 cup
200 ml dark chocolate - 1 cup
300 ml cream - 1 1/2 cups
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cocoa powder
Brenda says
Also what is digestive biscuits?
Brenda says
Could you please make the ingredients amount in cup, teaspoon or tablespoons.
Daniela Anderson says
I hope the message below clarifies the questions, but please let me know if there is anything else and l am very happy to answer any question. It's a lovely cake, l hope you like it!
