Bloody Cheesecake

Bloody Cheesecake, a frightfully delicious vanilla cheesecake for Halloween. Crumbly digestive biscuit base, creamy vanilla filling, and topped with a bright red chocolate glaze for a bleeding effect, what a dessert! The best Halloween cheesecake, that taste absolutely amazing! The filling can also be coloured red for a spookier presentation. Super easy to make, my bleeding cheesecake is a great Halloween dessert.
