Chocolate Crunch Cake (No Bake)

Ingredients
- 12 ounces plain dark chocolate (I actually use half plain and half milk)
- 4 ounces butter
- 14 ounces condensed milk
- 8 ounces digestive biscuits (broken)

Directions
Step 1: Line a cake tin with clingfilm/greaseproof paper. I vary the tin depending on the event - a loaf-style cake is better for home use, cookie trays are easier for slicing up for a pot luck, or a regular round cake tin is fine if you're using the cake for a birthday.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl (either over a pan of simmering water, or you can nuke it in the microwave in 10-second bursts).
Step 3: Pour the condensed milk into the chocolate and butter mixture and beat together until creamy.
Step 4: Add the broken biscuits and mix well.
Step 5: Pour the mixture into the cake tin and press it well into the corners.
Step 6: Leave to cool a little then refrigerate until set (it usually takes at least 2 hours depending on how cold your fridge is).

Vegan Cheesecake (Raspberry Swirl And Key Lime)

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 6 graham crackers)
- 4 tablespoons vegan margarine (I use Smartbalance)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 (8 ounce) packages vegan cream cheese (I use Toffuti)
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon extra firm tofu or 2 -3 tablespoons fruit pectin
- 3/4 cup sugar (increase from 2/3 Cup)
- 3/4 cup fresh key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup sugar

Directions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.

Crust:
Step 1: Combine cracker crumbs and sugar with melted margarine in a small bowl. Press mixture into a spring form cheesecake pan. (or other pan of choice.) Bake at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven.

Filling:
Step 1: Combine all filling ingredients into blender or food processor. If you are not using the tofu, you can hand mix it, but with tofu it is necessary blend it really well or you will get lumps. If you use the pectin, make sure the pectin is properly dissolved and mixed well. (I usually add the pectin to the lemon juice and mix before adding the other ingredients).
Step 2: Pour mixture into prepared crust and bake for about 45 minutes at 350°F Check often. Cake is done when it begins to pull away from the sides and appears to be set in the middle. (Some people wait for a slightly brown top, but I find that if cooked too long it starts to bubble and crack).
Step 3: Chill for about 3 hours or overnight.

For raspberry swirl:
Step 1: Thaw raspberries. Press through a sieve to remove seeds (optional). Combine lemon juice, pectin and raspberries an stir thoroughly.
Step 2: Drop blobs of raspberry mixture onto surface of uncooked cheesecake. Stir in decorative swirls with a butter knife or chopstick. Bake as above. Be careful not to let the top bubble or crack too much or your design will be ruined.
Step 3: Happy baking. :).
