- Line the base of a 20 cm springform pan with baking paper. Mix the biscuit crumbs with melted butter, press firmly over the base, and chill while preparing the filling.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth and free of lumps.
- Fold the cooled melted chocolate into the cream-cheese mixture until evenly coloured.
- Whip the cold cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it through the chocolate mixture without deflating it.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
- Release the cheesecake from the pan, add the optional chopped chocolate topping, and slice with a warm, dry knife.
