Method

  1. Blend the biscuits into a fine crumb in a food processor, melt the butter and add to the biscuits.
  2. Pack the biscuits into the bottom of a 20cm round springform tin to make a base.

  4. Pour over the base and spread evenly.
  5. Melt the milk chocolate, then using either a piping bag or a spoon, use half of the chocolate to make parallel circles on the cheesecake.
  6. Start from the outside and work into the middle, about 5 - 6 circles should be plenty.
  7. With a cocktail stick drag lines from the inside of the chocolate circles to the outside, repeat for each circle to create webs.
