Tall, Dark & Delicious

So you haven't got much in your cupboards but want a quick cake fix to impress the stupidly attractive postman, who you'll just 'happen to bump into while walking your dog at 5:30am with a slice of cake'... Seems legit. Here's a little show-stopper to leave him wanting more.

Double Chocolate Nutella Cheesecake



So you'll need only a handful of ingredients,
1 pack of digestive biscuits
1 block of 250g salted butter
1 400g jar of nutella
2 180g tubs of philadelphia soft cheese
70g icing sugar

So you'll start by putting your pack of biscuits in a food processor and blitzing till they're all crushed and there's no big pieces left, melt you're block of butter in a microwave or on the hob- whatever takes your fancy. Then add to the biscuit mix, add a table spoon of nutella and combine everything together in a bowl.

In another separate bowl scoop out the two tubs of soft cheese and add the last of your nutella jar, mix together till you can't see and speckles of cheese. Then mix in bit by bit your icing sugar.

Press biscuit base down in a cake tin, you may want to line the sides with greaseproof paper to make it easier getting out later. Then pour the chocolate mix on top and smooth out with a spoon. Then simply chuck it in the fridge overnight to set, gives you enough time to fight off whoever was waiting to lick out the bowl!
