Step-by-step

1. First, make the cheesecake base. Crush the biscuits by bashing them in a bag with a rolling pin, being careful to keep the pieces of biscuit reasonable large.
2. Melt the unsalted butter in a pan then stir in the crushed biscuits until coated all over.
3. Add the buttery biscuit to a serving dish, pressing it into an even layer.
4. Now make the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and crème fraîche together until soft.
5. In a second mixing bowl, semi-whip the double cream.
6. Melt the white chocolate buttons over a bain-marie until blood temperature (37°C/99°F).
7. Fold the chocolate into the cream cheese mix, then fold in the semi-whipped cream.
8. Add the cheesecake filling to the biscuit base and top with white chocolate shavings.
9. Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
