For the Base:

For the Cream:

1. Prepare the Base:

- In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and bitter cocoa powder.
- Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a cake pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly.

2. Prepare the Cream:

In a separate bowl, mix the spreadable cheese or mascarpone with the melted dark chocolate until smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the Cake:

Spread the chocolate cheese mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Use a spatula to smooth the top.

4. Chill:

- Place the cake in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cream to firm up.

- Base Variations: You can use any type of biscuit for the base, such as digestive biscuits, graham crackers, or even chocolate cookies for an extra chocolatey treat.
- Flavor Enhancements: For a twist, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of coffee to the cream mixture for added depth of flavor.
- Toppings: Decorate the top with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce before serving.

Serving Suggestions: This no-bake cheesecake is perfect for any occasion, from casual family dinners to elegant dinner parties. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
