Step-by-Step Instructions
When I start making this chocolate cheesecake, the first thing I do is prepare the biscuit base. I place the crushed biscuits in a bowl and mix them with the cocoa powder. Then I melt the chocolate with the butter and heavy cream until smooth and glossy. When I pour this mixture over the biscuit crumbs, it creates a rich chocolate base that smells incredible.
