  • 50g/1¾oz fresh raspberries
  • 75g/2½oz cream cheese

  1. For the chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, lightly grease a 5cm/2in chefs' ring and place it onto a serving plate. Place half of the oats into the ring, then top with half the raspberries.
  2. Place the cream cheese, cream and sugar into a bowl and mix well. Spoon this mixture on top of the raspberries, then top with the remaining oats and the grated chocolate.
  3. Heat the outside of the chefs' ring with a mini-blowtorch to loosen it, then carefully slide it off. Place the remaining raspberries on top of the cheesecake and garnish with a sprig of mint.
  4. For the chocolate sauce, place all the chocolate sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring until the chocolate has melted and the sauce has thickened.
  5. To serve, drizzle the chocolate sauce over the cheesecake.
