Toblerone baked cheesecake

One of my husband's favourite chocolates is Toblerone so for Fathers' Day I wanted to make a Toblerone cheesecake for our family lunch. I also recently welcomed a Thermomix into my home, so I wanted a thermo-friendly recipe. A quick searching revealed a recipe for a baked chocolate cheesecake that looked amazing, and a no-bake Toblerone cheesecake that had Thermomix directions. I prefer baked cheesecakes over no-bake ones so I decided to combine the two recipes. The result was a rich and decadent cheesecake with a very deep chocolate flavour and a divine texture. This is probably one of my all-time favourite cheesecakes (which is saying a lot as cheesecake is my favourite food), but its definitely one of those recipes to keep for special treats.  

Note: if you want non-Thermomix directions, use the recipe at Oh Sweet Day - I just doubled the quantities for my 24cm springform pan.
