3Beat the cream cheese until soft. Gradually whisk in the condensed milk, dark chocolate, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the set biscuit base. Sit the cheesecake in a roasting tin.

4Pour boiling water into the tin until it comes halfway up the side of the cake tin. Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, without opening the door, and leave for 1 hour to set.

5Cool and chill for 4 hours or overnight. Remove from the tin and cut into 15 slices.
It is important to cool the cheesecake in the oven this will help keep the centre of the baked cheesecake from cooling too quickly and cracking. However, do not worry if this happens. Cover with a layer of whipped cream or soured cream and dust with extra cocoa powder just before serving.
