Instruções

Line the base of a 18cm springform tin with baking paper and lightly grease the sides with melted butter.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the crushed digestive biscuits. Mix well until the biscuits have absorbed all the butter.

Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of the prepared tin in an even layer. Put in the fridge for 1 hour or until the base is firm and set.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Lightly whip the cream cheese then beat in the Irish cream and icing sugar. Fold in the whipped cream and grated chocolate. When smooth, spoon evenly on top of the biscuit base.

Return to the fridge for a further 2 hours, or until the filling is set.

Once set, remove from the tin and decorate with whipped cream (if using) and cocoa powder or grated chocolate dusted over the top.
