Frangelico Cheesecake...By Request!

For my friend Shaz who asked for the recipe!!

Serves 10

Base:
  • 250g choclate biscuits
  • 125g butter

Filling:

  • 125ml (1/2 cup) boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
  • 180g (6oz) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 250g (8oz) cream cheese
  • 300ml (1 1/2 cups) cream
  • 180ml (3/4 cup) Frangelico
  • 1 x 30g (1oz) flakey choclate bar

To make base:

Crush biscuits into very fine pieces. Melt butter and add to crushed biscuits, mix well and press into a springform cheesecake tin, packing mixture tightly to form a crust. Refrigerate to set.

To make filling:

Sprinkle the gelatin over the boiling water, stir until dissolved and leave to cool.

Place sugar and lemon juice in a blender and mix lightly. Add room temperature cream cheese and continue to blend. Add cooled gelatin mix, cream and Frangelico and blend until smooth and mixed well.

Crumble half the choclate bar into mixture and stir through lightly, pour over base. Crumble remaining choclate bar evenly over top of cheesecake. Refrigerate to set.
