- Put the chocolate into a bowl and set on the back of the Aga to melt. Set the packets of cream cheese onto the back of the Aga to soften.
- Put the biscuits into a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin the break them up, but not to a powder.
- Line a 2lb (1litre) loaf tin with cling film.
- Put the cream cheese, cream and sugar into a bowl and whisk together until thick.
- Mix half of the raspberries with the jam.
- Put half of the cheese mixture until the tin and smooth the top. Spread with the mixed raspberries and jam.
- Spread the rest of the cream cheese over the top, then put on the biscuits in a single layer. Press down gently, cover with more cling film and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, turn the cheesecake out of the tin, remove the cling film and scatter over the rest of the raspberries and shake a little icing sugar over the top to show you have made an effort.
Alternatives:
- Use broken meringues instead of the ginger biscuits
- Use strawberry jam and sliced strawberries instead of the raspberries
- Use marmalade and orange segments and dark chocolate for a winter version
- Use cranberry sauce and poached cranberries with orange juice for a Christmas version
- Make individual cheesecakes by using a 12 hole deep muffin tin, lining each hole with cling film
