- 150ml Double Cream
- 30g Vanilla Bean Paste
- 5ml Vanilla Essence

Instructions
Biscuit Base
- Grind your biscuits down to a fine crumb using a food processor or a rolling pin and a food bag
- Combine melted butted and biscuit crumb in a bowl and mix until the crumb has been thoroughly coated
- Pour biscuit mixture into 8" spring form tin and flatten the mixture out using a meat stamper or a sturdy object with a weighty, flat and sturdy base.
- Freeze for at least 10 minutes
Chocolate Shards

- Freeze for 10 minutes
Cheesecake Filling & Topping
- Add cream cheese, caster sugar, double cream, vanilla bean paste and vanilla extract to a bowl.
- Mix ingredients until well combined, we leave the mixture on a stand mixer on the low setting for 10-15 minutes
- Remove base from freezer
- Take small amounts of filling and press against the inner sides of the tin, ensuring no air bubbles can form.
- Once the outer edge has been filled, remove all filling into the centre of the tin. Do not worry if this seems excessive or messy.
- Using a palette knife, push mixture down into the centre of the tin, rotating the tin as you work. Again, ensure no air bubbles can form as this may cause the cake to collapse.
- Once filled, level off the top of the cheesecake using the edged of the tin as a guide
- Remove shards from freezer
- Separate chocolate from paper and break into shards
- Randomly top cake with shards, fruit and any other toppings you wish to use
