Angry chocolate cheesecake

Chocolate cheesecake is my absolute favourite dessert.

If I could take three things on a desert island with me two out of the three things would be chocolate cheesecake (the other would be wine).

It may sound a bit obvious to most people, but the main ingredient in a chocolate cheesecake is chocolate. Unfortunately my partner did not think about this fact when I went to the shop for the rest of the ingredients as I already had the chocolate at home.

I came home ready and excited to start making it, as the sooner it was made, the sooner I could eat it.

I had saved a big bar of Milka chocolate that I had bought a few days previously at the airport, so I could make a delicious Milka chocolate cheesecake.

I don't care what anyone says, airport Milka chocolate is different to what you find in regular shops. It is thicker, and better. Fact.

So when I came home and my boyfriend told me he, his brother and his son had eaten it, I laughed and told him to hand it over.

After five minutes of him saying 'No, seriously, we ate it.' I stormed out of the house and had a hissy fit all of the way to the supermarket to buy more chocolate that would not taste anywhere near as good.

I sat in the car park and wondered if I had over reacted, and quickly decided I hadn't. No man should come between a woman and her chocolate.

When I got home I refused to talk to him and smashed the biscuits up for my cheesecake base. It was very satisfying.

If you would like to make your own angry chocolate cheesecake I have put the ingredients and instructions below.

It actually turned out surprisingly well, though it took more than an hour in the freezer for my anger to chill.

Sorry, I don't have a picture of the full cheesecake, I angry ate.
