Blackberry and Hazelnut Cheesecake
Serves 1
Directions

- 8Melt the butter and then pour this over the crumb mixture.
- 9Mix until combined.
- 10Press this into the tin until smooth.
- 11Pop into the fridge.
- 12For the filling whip the double cream until it's thick and starts to form stiff peaks (do not over whip!).
- 13Add in the cream cheese, icing sugar, hazelnut butter, and chocolate; whisk until smooth.
- 14Spread half of this evenly over the biscuit base and swirl through some of the blackberry puree.
- 15Cover with the remaining cheesecake mixture and then leave to set in the fridge overnight.
