Instructions

Chocolate Base: Step 1

Beat the egg and sugar until light and airy. Add the milk. Mix flour and baking soda together and fold it into the egg mixture. Melt the butter and chocolate and mix it with the biscuits in the dough. Cover the bottom of a springform tin (approximately 22 cm in diameter) with baking paper and brush the bottom and edge with melted butter.

Chocolate Base: Step 2

Put the biscuit mixture into the tin and place it in the middle of the oven - it may be slightly undercooked . Let it cool slightly. Take it out of the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Wash the tin and cover the sides with cling film. Put the chocolate base back in the springform tin.

Vanilla Cheese: Step 1

Soak the gelatine sheets in cold water for approximately 10 minutes. Stir the cream cheese together with the egg yolks, cream fraiche, vanilla grains, lemon zest and juice. Take the gelatine sheets out of the water and melt gently. Mix the gelatine with a little of the cream cheese mixture and fold it into the rest. Beat the whites till firm, add the icing sugar and whisk for about another 2 minutes. Fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mix. Pour over the chocolate base and place it covered in the refrigerator for approximately 1 hour. It is important that the vanilla fromage has set before the blueberry mixture is poured over.

Vanilla Cheese: Step 2

Beat the whites till firm, add the icing sugar and whisk for about another 2 minutes. Fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mix.
