Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2. Melt the butter in a bain-marie or in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
- Crumble the biscuits/cookies into a small bowl then add the melted butter. Mix well then place the mixture in a greased cake tin, preferably a loose-bottomed one. Press the biscuit/cookie crumbs down with, for example, the bottom of aglass. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Put the chocolate, Nutella and cream in a saucepan and heat to dissolve.
- Mix well. In a separate bowl, beat together the cheese and the eggs then add the Nutella mixture. Pour this mixture into the cake tin on top of the biscuit/cookie crumbs.
