Cheesecake...

My latest challenge was to make a cheesecake. I have never made one of these before... mainly because it could get left uneaten as hubby doesn't like them and there is nothing worse than uneaten baking!
Hubbies parents were up from Wellington to visit so it was a perfect opportunity to make something delish and have them around to help eat it!


Instead of a 'typical' cheesecake with creamy cheese filling and fruit topping, I decided to go extreme with chocolate and cherries.

My base is crushed dark chocolate digestive biscuits and melted butter.  The filling: cream cheese, 3 chopped cherry ripe bars and a tin of drained cherries in syrup. All topped off with shavings of dark chocolate

YUM!  It tasted sooo good, and was devoured over 2 nights, with my in-laws saving me from some calorie overloading!
