Metric grams - US measurements

Instructions

Chocolate Cheesecake Base

1. Mix all the ingredients together. Press into a 33cm x 22cm (13 " x 9") dish lined with baking parchment.
2. Place in the fridge to cool and harden whilst you make the peppermint cheesecake filling.

Peppermint Cheesecake Filling

1. Cut the cream cheese into a few pieces to make it easier to mix.
2. Add the melted butter and all other ingredients to the cream cheese. I use my stick blender with the blade attachment. It makes for a smooth lump free cheesecake filling. You may wish to add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
3. Spread and smooth the peppermint cheesecake filling over the cooled chocolate base. Place in the fridge to cool.

To Decorate

1. Melt the 90% chocolate in the microwave or stove top. Drizzle over the cooled peppermint cheesecake filling in swirls, zig zags or wavy lines.
2. I cut mine into 4 rows by 7 rows to create 28 squares.

Recipe Notes

** You must use the full fat, solid cream cheese. The soft, spreadable cream cheese will NOT set.
