Method

Fold the chocolate into the cheese mixture, pour into the tin, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.

Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water and allow to cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 175°C.

Crush the shortbread biscuits in a plastic bag with a rolling pin and tip crumbs into a bowl.

Cool the cheesecake, remove from the tin, and serve with berries, cream, and extra drizzled chocolate.

Pulse the cream cheese, ricotta, eggs, sugar, and vanilla seeds in a food processor until smooth.

Mix the crumbs with melted butter and press into the base of a 25cm spring-form tin.
