  • 6 chocolate-covered chocolate biscuit bars (e.g Rocky)
  • 150g chocolate chip cookies
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 7g (4 sheets) leaf gelatin
  • 60ml cold water
  • 500g cream cheese

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 75g miniature pink marshmallows

  • 200ml double cream
  • 25g plain chocolate, to decorate

Method

  1. Either crush the cookies in a blender, or place in a strong polythene bag and beat with a rolling pin to reduce the biscuits to crumbs.
  2. Melt the butter and combine with the cookie crumbs. Press mixture into bottom of 20cm/8 inch spring-form cake tin. Chill in fridge.
  3. In a small saucepan, put the gelatin with the 60ml water and soak for 10 mins to soften then stir over low heat until dissolved. Meanwhile, chop the chocolate biscuit bars into small chunks.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, cocoa, and vanilla.
  5. Gradually add the gelatin mixture, and mix until smooth.
  6. Fold in chopped biscuits, marshmallows and cherries. Lightly whip the cream until softly peaking then fold into the mixture. Spoon evenly over the base then chill until firm.
  7. Melt the chocolate and drizzle over the top.
