Medium bowl
Spatula or wooden spoon
Large bowl
Beater
Small saucepan

Ingredients

For the biscuit base:

250 grams crushed Tim Tam biscuits
60 grams melted butter

For the cheesecake filling:

750 grams softened cream cheese
200 grams white sugar
60 ml sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs

For the chocolate ganache:

200 ml thickened Cream
100 grams dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease an 18x28cm (7x11-inch) baking tray.

Prepare the biscuit base:

In a medium bowl, combine the 250 grams crushed Tim Tam biscuits and 60 grams melted butter.
Mix until well combined and press firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Set aside.

Make the cheesecake filling:

In a large bowl, beat the 750 grams softened cream cheese and 200 grams white sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the 60 ml sour cream, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared biscuit base.

Bake the cheesecake:

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are slightly golden brown.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool completely.

Make the chocolate ganache:

In a small saucepan, heat the 200 ml thickened Cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
Remove from the heat and add the 100 grams dark chocolate chips.
Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Pour the ganache:

Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled cheesecake, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.

Cut and serve:

Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the cheesecake into 12 generous slices.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

For a richer flavour, use full-fat cream cheese.
If you don't have Tim Tam biscuits, you can use any other chocolate sandwich biscuit.
To make the cheesecake filling even smoother, use a blender or food processor.

For a more decadent dessert, top each slice of cheesecake with a fresh raspberry.

Strawberry Cheesecake Slice:: Top the cheesecake with a layer of fresh strawberries before pouring the chocolate ganache.
