Ingredients

You’ll need a few simple ingredients to create this masterpiece:

• 375g cream cheese
• 250ml whipped cream (whipped until stiff)
• 125ml milk
• 125g caster sugar
• 60g white cooking chocolate (melted)
• 60g milk cooking chocolate (melted)
• 60g dark cooking chocolate (melted)
• 1 ½ tbsp gelatin
• 60ml water
• Chocolate genoise sponge cake (use one half for the base)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Base: Use a springform pan and place one half of the chocolate genoise sponge cake at the bottom. This will serve as your foundation. Set aside.

2. Mixing the Filling: Dissolve gelatin in water by heating it over a simmering water bath. Set aside. In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese until smooth, then add the milk and sugar. Beat the mixture until everything is well combined, then mix in the gelatin.

3. Divide and Conquer: Split the cheesecake mixture into three equal parts. In each part, fold in a different type of melted chocolate—white, milk, and dark—creating three layers of chocolate goodness.

4. Layering the Cake: Start by pouring the milk or white chocolate layer onto the sponge base and pop it in the freezer for a few minutes until it begins to firm up. Next, add the next chocolate layer, freeze again until firm. Finally, pour the dark chocolate layer over the top and smooth it out. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill for 2–4 hours until fully set.

For the Perfect Sponge Cake
