Ingredients for the base:

- 50 g butter

For decoration:
- Fresh fruits (strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

Preparing the base:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a springform cake pan (23 cm diameter) and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, crush the digestive biscuits until they become a fine powder. Add the sugar, salt, and melted butter, mixing well until you have a homogeneous mixture.
3. Pour the biscuit mixture into the prepared pan, pressing down well with a spatula to form an even base. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

Preparing the cream cheese:
1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
2. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until you achieve a light and homogeneous consistency.
3. Pour the cream cheese over the cooled base, leveling the surface with a spatula. Place the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.

Preparing the chocolate fudge:
1. In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate together with the heavy cream and butter, stirring constantly over low heat. Make sure the chocolate does not burn!
2. Once the mixture is smooth, let it cool slightly, then pour it over the cream cheese, leveling the surface again.

Finishing the cake:
1. Leave the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for the flavors to meld perfectly.
2. When you're ready to serve, decorate the cake with fresh fruits and sprinkle a little cocoa or grated chocolate on top.

Serving suggestion:
The cheesecake with chocolate fudge is delicious served alongside a cup of coffee or tea. You can also add a caramel sauce or fruit puree for an extra burst of flavor.

Possible variations:
For a more exotic touch, you can add a few drops of almond extract to the cream cheese or substitute the dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a sweeter taste. Experiment and enjoy various combinations!

Base 1. Add the baking powder to the whipped milk and set aside. Do not mix, as you risk ending up with 1/2 milk. 2. In a bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, cocoa, oil, and vanilla. 3. Add the cup of hot water and mix. 4. Gradually add the flour. 5. Once all the flour is incorporated, add the whipped milk. I poured the mixture into 2 trays and baked in a preheated oven at 175C / 350F for 30 - 40 minutes (do the toothpick test). Cream Cheese 1. Whip the liquid cream. 2. In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt. 3. Add the obtained cream cheese to the whipped cream. 4. Then assemble the cake. The layers shrink about 1 - 1 1/2 cm during baking. Chocolate Fudge In a small pot, combine the ingredients, and heat on low for 1 minute after it boils. Remove from heat and mix for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken, no more, or you won't be able to use it (it hardens immediately). I quickly decorated it by sifting cocoa on top. Enjoy your meal!
