To make the cheesecake, melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, mixing each time. As we are using flakes it melts very quickly. Leave to cool slightly while you do the other steps.

Whip the cream in a large bowl using a whisk until soft peaks form. In a seperate large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and cocoa powder together.

Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese batter, mixing thoroughly. Gently combine the whipped cream to the chocolate cream cheese.

Remove the base from the fridge and carefully spoon the mixture on top. Using a spatula or pallet knife, gently spread the mixture evenly around the tin. Create a swirl with the edge of the spatula.

Sprinkle with additional flakes and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Remove from tin and leave to sit for 10-15 mins before serving.
