Ingredients (Serves 6-8)
Melt the butter in a microwave or a pan on the stove and combine with the cookie crumbs. Press the mix into the base of a 20cm/8in springform cake tin. Chill in fridge.
Put the gelatine and water in a small pan, soak for 10 minutes to soften, then stir over a low heat until dissolved. Meanwhile, chop the chocolate bars into small chunks.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, cocoa and vanilla extract, then gradually add the gelatine mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in the chopped biscuit bars, marshmallows and cherries.
Lightly whip the cream until softly peaking, then fold into the cream cheese mix. Spoon evenly over the chilled base and refrigerate until firm.
Just before serving, melt the plain chocolate and drizzle over the top of the cheesecake.
