Method
- Preheat oven to 170C fan-forced. Grease a 20cm springform cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

- Reduce oven temperature to 150C fan-forced.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth and set aside in a warm place.
- Beat Dairymont Cream Cheese for 2-3 minutes in a large bowl until soft and smooth then whisk through sugar, double cream, vanilla extract and finally the eggs until evenly combined.
- Spoon into biscuit lined base and bake for 30 minutes then turn the oven off and allow to cool inside for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and run a thin sharp knife around the edge of cake whilst still warm. Set aside on a cooling rack to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for 4 hours or overnight.
- Decorate with chocolate malt balls and chocolate curls to serve.
