Desserts Recipes - Marbled Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

Serves 10   

For the base:

  • 225g/8oz toasted oat cereal

  • 50g/2oz toasted hazelnuts (chopped)

  • 50g/2oz butter

  • 25g/1oz dark chocolate

For the filling:

  • 350g/12oz full-fat soft cheese

  • 100g/40z caster sugar

  • 200ml/7fl oz thick yogurt

  • 300ml/1/2pt double cream

  • 25g/1oz powdered gelatin

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 175g/6oz dark chocolate (melted)

  • 175g/6oz white chocolate (melted)


Method:

  1. Place the toasted oat cereal in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Pour the crushed cereal into a mixing bowl and stir in the hazelnuts.

  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together over a low heat and add to the cereal mixture, stirring until well coated.

  3. Using the bottom of a glass, press the mixture into the base and up the sides of a 20cm/8in spring form tin.

  4. Beat together the cheese and sugar with a wooden spoon until smooth. Beat in the yogurt. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape and fold into the mixture.

  5. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a heatproof bowl and leave to go spongy. Place over a pan of hot water and stir until dissolved. Stir into the mixture.

  6. Divide the mixture in half and beat the dark chocolate into one half and the white chocolate into the other.

  7. Place alternate spoonfuls of each mixture on top of the cereal base. Swirl the filling together with the tip of a knife to give a marbled effect. Level the top with a spatula.

  8. Chill for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
