Do not expect a sweet, chocolaty cheesecake with this recipe. Instead, this recipe produces a beautifully textured treat with a nice tartness to it. Whilst making it I was a bit worried. The biscuit base did not cover the base of a 22cm tin, so I made another half quantity and that gave perfect coverage. This method produces a solid base but it is not as hard as one made with butter. I liked it. Also, the mix is quite a pale colour which reflects the strength of the chocolate flavour. The quanities of hazelnut and raisin are perfect. I will be making this again and will (probably) slightly increase the cocoa and sugar quantities. This recipe has lots of potential. Thanks Chef Potts.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
