My first Cheesecake


Made my first cheese cake today!
The look is perfect ... Am very proud.
Ingredients :
Base :
1. 200 gms digestive biscuit
2. ~70gms butter
3. Sugar if you want it sweeter than digestive
Core:
1. Two Britannia cream cheese packet
2. 200ml fresh cream
3. 3 eggs
4. 3/4 cup of powdered sugar
5. Chocolate cubes ... darker the better. I used the amul dark chocolate newly launched.

Process:
1. Preheat the oven 140C
2. Put digestives in a zip pouch and go at it with a hammer ... use all the frustrations you have ... you will get a nicely crushed base soon enough. This portion can be done in a blender. But I find this way therapeutic
3. Melt the butter, mix with biscuit crash.
4. Put in some sugar if you want, I didn't.
5. Line and grease a cake tin, preferably the detachable base once. Important to grease it well and line later.
6. spread in the biscuit butter mash, and press it down.
7. Put in the oven for 10 minutes, take it out, cool it down.
8. Now for the topping. put the cream cheese in a bowl and beat it to make it smooth, I use electric beater, and is done in about 1 minute.
9. Put in the cream, repeat beating.
10. Put in the eggs ... beating.
11. Sugar ... beating.
12. 2 tablespoon of water ... beating
13. Divide the topping in two halves, now all the recipe in net suggests 2 EQUAL halves but I go for about 1/4 and 3/4.
13. Melt the chocolate (recipe suggests double boiler, I just put in 2 tablespoon of water in the chocolate and put the saucepan on stove for couple of minutes while vigorously beating it content).
14. Mix the 1/4 part in the chocolate.
15. Pour half the white topping on cake, then almost all the chocolate topping, and then all the white, and then scrap the rest of the chocolate topping. Then with a knife mix the colors ... as much or little as you wish.
16.Stick it in the 140C oven for 40-50 Min's. You have to keep checking till the base becomes almost set but still a little wobbly in the middle.
13. Cool it down first and then keep it in the fridge for 1-4 hrs ... voila
