Ingredients

The Base

• 7 oz digestive biscuits crumbs (200 g)
• 3 tbsp butter (45 g), melted

The Chocolate Cheese Filling

• 10 oz full fat cream cheese (280 g), room temperature
• 1/3 cup sugar (65 g)
• 1 cup sour cream (210 g)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 oz semisweet chocolate (110 g)
• 2 large eggs , room temperature

Instructions

The Base

• Blend digestive biscuits in a food processor until you get a fine mixture. Skip this step if you're using already made crumbs. Pour into a bowl together with butter and mix well.
• Line a 12 hole muffin pan and distribute the mixture evenly into every hole. Using the back of a small spoon, press the mixture evenly. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

The Chocolate Cheese Filling

• Chop chocolate and melt in microwave. You can also use double boiler method. Set aside and leave until it has cool slightly before using.
• Add cream cheese into a bowl and using a handheld mixer, whisk on lowest speed just until it gets creamy. Now add in sugar, sour cream, vanilla and salt. Mix everything well.
• Now add in the melted chocolate and mix everything together. Set aside.
• Crack both eggs into another bowl and lightly whisk them. Add the eggs into cheese mixture and fold everything together with a spatula. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven (no fan) at 285ºF (140ºC) for 25 minutes or until when you gently shake the pan, the surrounding of the cheesecakes has set and the center wiggles.
• Remove from the oven and cool completely before placing the pan in the fridge for min 8 hours.

Assembling

• Remove the cheesecake from the pan (use a knife or offset spatula to help lift them out). Peel the liners and place the cheesecakes on a serving plate. Drizzle some melted chocolate on top and sprinkle some chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
