Double chocolate and strawberry cheesecake

This is NOT a baked cheesecake, but it is vegetarian (but NOT vegan) friendly. Low fat cream cheese  and cream may be used to substitute the full fat if you want (honestly, I can't tell the difference between full and low fat when it's chocolate flavoured). 

Ingredients
  • 150g digestive biscuits
  • 60g butter melted
  • 2x200g cream cheese 
  • 100g icing sugar
  • 100g dark chocolate (50-70%)
  • 100g white chocolate
  • 280ml double cream 
  • 250g strawberries
  1. Crush biscuits and stir in the melted butter
  2. Press biscuit firmly into the bottom of a 20cm round baking tin (preferably spring form, so you can take it out easier)
  3. Melt dark chocolate in microwave (careful with power setting as it will burn if heated at high power) and leave it to cool
  4. Meanwhile, beat the double cream until it forms stiff peaks
  5. Beat icing sugar into 200g cream cheese 
  6. Mix in dark chocolate and half of the whisked cream
  7. Layer the cheesecake filling on top of the biscuits and chill for 30-60 minutes in the fridge
  8. Wash, drain and slice strawberries in halves and layer on the dark chocolate cheese filling
  9. Melt white chocolate in microwave (again, be careful with microwave power setting) and let it cool for 5 minutes
  10. Mix in white chocolate and the remaining cream into 200g of cream cheese and put it on the dark chocolate layer and chill for at least an hour before serving
