- Place the 200g of chocolate in a bowl over barely simmering water (make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl) until melted.
- Pulse the cheese and sugar in a processor until smooth.
- Add the eggs, then the cocoa and chocolate.
- Spoon onto the base and cook at 175°C (350°F, gas mark 4) for about 1 hr until springy to the touch. Allow to cool before turning out and topping with big chopped or grated bits of chocolate and dusting with cocoa.
- Make a sauce by melting the chocolate and cream over another bowl, when melted whisk in the butter. Serve the sauce immediately as it won't re-heat.
- Serve a slab of this in the middle of a massive white plate with a big spoonful of sauce, a dollop of clotted cream and dust the edge with cocoa, then wait for the magic to work!
