This no-bake “3 BIT” cake is so popular it hardly needs an introduction ;). I was asked for the recipe by a friend of a friend — in fact, an English lady who buys this cake in a Polish shop here in the UK. As you can see, it’s loved across different cultures! As Joey Tribbiani would say:
A rich and intense chocolate cheesecake, based on a recipe by Nigella Lawson. With a chocolate topping and a biscuit base, this is a truly indulgent dessert. Traditionally made with cream cheese such as Philadelphia, I prefer to use Polish curd cheese, finely ground three times.
