This patisserie-worthy pud is easier to make than it looks. If you can’t find chocolate covered coffee beans to decorate, grated chocolate looks great too.
Step 1Lightly grease a 20.5cm (8in) round springform tin and line base and sides with baking parchment. Whizz biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed (alternatively bash in a food bag with a rolling pin). Pulse/mix in butter until combined. Empty into lined tin and press to level with the back of a spoon. Chill until needed.
Step 2Using a handheld electric whisk, beat cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth, then beat in the double cream until mixture is thick and holds its shape. Divide between 3 bowls (weighing the mixture is best to ensure even layers).
Step 3Mix 2tbsp of the coffee syrup and 1/2tsp vanilla into the first bowl. Mix 1/2tbsp of coffee syrup and the remaining vanilla into the second bowl. Leave the third bowl plain.
Step 4Scrape the first bowl contents into the tin, smoothing with the back of a spoon to level. Top with the second bowl contents, smoothing again. Repeat with the third bowl contents. Chill for at least 6hr, or ideally overnight.
Step 5To serve, transfer cheesecake to a cake stand or plate. Decorate with the chocolate coffee beans and serve.
