Ingredients
- 200 g digestive biscuits
- 100 g butter
- 500 g mascarpone cheese
- 300 g milk chocolate
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 50 g white chocolate
- 300 ml double cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- 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.

- 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.
