Dark Chocolate Malteser Cheesecake
Malteser cheesecake, mmm, it tastes just as good as it sounds. I made this using dark chocolate Maltesers as they are my favourite but I'm sure it would be just as delicious using ordinary Maltesers too. This is the Thermomix version but it can be just as easily made with a mixer or by hand.
