   springform pan.

5. Reduce oven temperature to 160 degrees celsius/320 Fahrenheit.

6. In a food processor, combine all ingredients for the cheesecake filling till smooth.

7. Pour batter into your cake ring and bake for 45 minutes. (After 45 minutes, there should only be the slightest jiggle in the middle of the cake.)

8. Turn oven off and allow cake to cool to room temperature in the oven.

9. Once cooled, leave the cake in the fridge overnight.

To Decorate:
In the spirit of Halloween, you can choose to decorate your cake as follows:

1. Drizzle with melted Dark Chocolate for a spider-web effect.
2. Pipe plain vanilla Buttercream or Whipped Coconut Cream on top of your cake, and
   decorate with chocolate chips to create a ‘ghost face’
