190g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs
200g chocolate, roughly chopped
For the base
200g digestive biscuits

Whisk together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until thick and smooth. Beat in the eggs, one by one.
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the melted chocolate, one spoonful at a time, then pour over the crust.
Place the tin into a baking sheet and fill with water (about 2/3 up).
