Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Crush 300 g of digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix them with 135 g of melted unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in a bowl. Press the mixture into a 23 cm springform tin and chill for 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 750 g of room temperature full-fat cream cheese, 175 g of icing sugar, and 40 g of cocoa powder until smooth. Gradually add 300 ml of double cream and whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling over the biscuit layer in the springform tin. Smooth the top and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Combine 65 g of dark chocolate and 65 ml of double cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals until smooth. Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake.
- Melt 30 g of white chocolate with 15 ml of double cream for the spiderweb design. Optionally mix in Sugarflair superwhite powder.
- Pipe a spiral of white chocolate ganache onto the cheesecake surface. Use a cocktail stick to draw lines from the center to the edges to create a spiderweb effect.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for an additional 1-2 hours to set the ganache. Remove the springform tin and slice to serve.

Notes
Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best flavor and texture. Always use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps.
