    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan, 325°F, gas mark 3). Butter and line and 22cm diameter spring form tin.

    2. Step 2

      Use a food processor to reduce the cookies into nice fine crumbs. Add in the melted butter and mix well.

    3. Step 3

      Place the mixture into the tin and press down using a cold metal spoon. Put into a hot oven for 10 minutes to roast. When cool place in the fridge to set.

    4. Step 4

      For the filling beat the mascarpone and crème fraiche with eggs, yolks, sugar, peanut butter and soured cream in a mixer until you get a smooth consistency.

    5. Step 5

      Spoon the mix into the prepared tin over the base and bake for 50 – 60 minutes until set but still wobbly. Leave to set in the fridge.

    6. Step 6

      For the topping, warm the soured cream, chocolate and sugar in a saucepan. Once smooth pour the mixture on top of the cold cheesecake and leave it to set.

    7. Step 7

      Once set remove from tin. Decorate with a little edible gold leaf on top and wrap with a cake sash for extra glamour!

    This was great. A pinch of salt in the base and the topping perhaps. And probably some ground roasted peanuts in the base if I made it again (my base needed more butter than suggested). And some steam in the oven I think - mine did crack slightly.
