Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 170°C / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 3.

2

Line the base of a 20 cm / 8 in spring-form tin with non-stick baking parchment and brush the tin with oil.

3

Mix together the biscuits and honey and press into the base of the tin and a little way up the sides. Chill until required.

4

In a large bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Stir in Splenda Granulated.

5

Pour ¾ of the mixture into a separate bowl. Add the lemon zest, stir to combine and pour into the tin. Set aside.

6

Warm the milk over a low heat, remove from the heat and stir in the cocoa until combined. Beat the cocoa mixture into the remaining cheese mixture. Pour into the centre of the plain cheese mixture and using a skewer or sharp knife swirl, making a figure of eight pattern until a marbled appearance is achieved.

7

Bake for 45-50 minutes until just golden and set. Cool slightly or chill before serving.
