Black Forest Cheese Cake



Ingredients

750g cream cheese (full/low fat)
1 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g crushed sweet biscuit, (digestives)
1 heap tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup shaved chocolate
1 cup fresh cherries, de-seeded & cut into 1/4



Start by greasing your tin with butter or sunflower oil

Gently mix the melted butter with crushed biscuit and press into the base of the tin. Place into the fridge while preparing the rest

Into a large mixing bowl add cream cheese and mix until fluffy but not thick. Add icing sugar & vanilla extract. Mix well until mixture is stiff. Now gently fold in chopped cherries.

Press the mix gently onto the biscuit base ensuring you have reached the edges of the tin. Top with shaved, good quality chocolate. You can easily shave your own chocolate using a sharp knife. How ever if you are not confident with your skills beware as it is fiddly and can easily end in a nasty cut.

Once back in the fridge it will take no more than 2 hours to set as the cheese has been thickened through mixing.
