    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Sis gave it to me, from a newspaper I think, originally from Leiths Cookery School.

    Mars Bar Cheesecake

    Ingredients

    For the base

    140g/5oz butter, melted
    200g/70z crushed digestives
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    For the topping

    4 large Mars Bars
    250g/90z Philadelphia cheese

    Method

    1. Make the base, melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan.
    2. Stir in the crushed biscuits and cinnamon and place in the bottom of a 22.5cm/9in loose bottomed flan ring. Refrigerate.
    3. Chop 3 of the Mars bars up roughly and place in a bowl set over, not in, a saucepan of boiling water and allow it to melt slowly.
    4. Meanwhile, chop the remaining Mars Bar.
    5. When the Mars Bars have melted, take the bowl off the heat and add the cream cheese and chopped Mars Bar. Stir until well incorporated.
    6. Pile on top of the digestive base and chill until required. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

    My sister says it is really scrummy and easy. :drool:

    My cake tin was already full ;)

    DS has just gone off to Scout camp. When he was a cub lots of parents baked, but now all the baking parents have left, apart from me :rolleyes: At his last camp he was the only one to take cake (HM or otherwise :eek: :eek: :eek: ). So this cake isn't expected, but will be gratefully received.
