I love recipes that you can tweak and adjust to suite your mood. This one is a start for that, and easy to make to boot.

And it is DECADENT.

Tastes decadent, and looks decadent.   No skinny strip of baked cheesecake here, this unbaked baby is big and chunky and with cheesecake, SIZE MATTERS!

Start with a box of Oreo crumbs (for a chocolate cream or graham crumbs if you are going white chocolate) Mix in 1/2 cup melted butter and press the crumbs into a SPRINGFORM  pan.
Bake until set (350 apps 10 minutes)

Using a mixer, beat 3 blocks of cream cheese with 1/2  cup of white sugar. Add in 16 oz of ANY type of melted chocolate.
Mix, mix, mix.

Combine 1 packages of Knox gelatine with 1/4 cup of ANY liquid flavouring.
This is where it can get fun.  You can use a standard Vanilla, or get fancy with Baileys Irish Cream. Anything that you think will mix well with the chocolate you have chosen (light, dark, white or even toblerone if you want some chunks)

Blend the gelatine and the liquid until it is combined and “melted”

Mix this into the chocolate/creamcheese mixture until fully blended.  You will end up with a  stable cream cheese/chocolate base.

Chill this mixture (along with the cookie base) and prepare the cream.  Beat two full cups of whipping cream until firm peaks show. Blend this with the chocolate mixture.  You can be gentle and “fold it in” or pop it back into the mixture and beat until smooth.

Pop the whole thing on top of the cookie base and chill 4-6 hours until cool and set.

Slice a big honking piece for each of your guest and serve it with a few fresh raspberries or strawberries! It is sure to impress (and no one will know how easy it was to make!)

There are usually leftovers as well and they are AMAZING for breakfast.
