You'll need

  • 180 ml¾ cup water
  • 175 g6 oz chocolate digestives
  • 60 g¼ cup2 oz butter, melted
  • 200 g1¼ cups7 oz dark chocolate chips
  • 125 ml½ cup double cream
  • 350 g1½ cups12½ oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 100 g½ cup3½ oz caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • Whipped cream, optional

Method

  1. Pour water into Combi Pan and place Crisper Plate on top.
  2. Process digestives and butter to fine crumbs; press into tin and freeze.

    Our tip A 20 cm (8 in) loose-based tin fits on the crisper plate and lets you lift the cheesecake out in step 6. Press the crumbs down hard with the bottom of a glass.

  3. Microwave chocolate chips and cream on high ; mix and set aside.
  4. Whisk cream cheese , then sugar and vanilla. Whisk in eggs one at a time and fold in chocolate cream.

    Our tip Once the eggs go in, whisk on low and only until smooth. Air beaten in makes the cheesecake puff up in the oven, then sink and crack as it cools.

  5. Pour into tin, place on Crisper Plate and select COMBI BAKE, 175°C345°F, . Unit steams first.

    Our tip At the end of the bake, nudge the tin: the edge should be set and the middle still wobble like jelly. It finishes setting in the fridge; baked until firm, it turns dry and cracks.

  6. Cool , remove from tin and chill or overnight.
