Personally, I'm a huge fan of cheesecake! The combination of the velvety cheesecake filling with sweet & tart berries and a crisp layer of dark chocolate makes this cheesecake a real favourite of mine. From the very first slice, this dessert will have you craving another piece straight away.

Ingredients

for 12 pieces

Berries
200 g frozen berry mixture, slightly defrosted
2 tbsp Maizena cornflour
1 tbsp liquid honey
Mixture
400 g plain greek yoghurt
200 g cream cheese
90 g sugar
2  eggs
Chocolate
100 g white chocolate, finely chopped

1 bag dark cake icing (approx. 125 g)

How it's done

Berries

Place the berries in a pan along with all the other ingredients up to and including the honey, mix, bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, simmer for approx. 3 mins., transfer to the prepared dish.

Mixture

Place the yoghurt and all the other ingredients in a bowl, mix well.

Chocolate

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Remove the pan from the heat, melt the chocolate, stir until smooth, add to the mixture, mix well, spread on top of the berries.

To bake

Approx. 55 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Switch off the oven, leave to cool for approx. 30 mins. with the door slightly ajar. Take the cheesecake out of the oven, remove from the tin and place on a rack to cool.

Glaze

Melt the bag of cake icing in hot water. Cut open the bag, pour the chocolate into a small bowl, pour it over the cheesecake, allow to set.
