Do not mix. If there is some dry gelatineon top when all absorbed, swirl to cover or add a little more water. Use a food processor to process biscuits.Pour in melted butter. Process to combine.Press biscuit mixture into a baking paper lined springform tin. Tip - use a piece of baking paper biggerthan tin and clamp sides on with paper hanging outside of base - easier to remove and cut cheesecake whenset. Refrigerate base while making cheese mix. Rinse processor bowl and blade. Gently heat gelatine ina saucepan on lowest heat (simmer plate) until dissolved. Or microwave on low power setting (3-4) for 10second bursts until dissolved and clear. DO NOT BOIL. Leave gelatine to cool a few minutes, but make sure itdoesn’t set.Add cream cheese to processor and process to break up. Add caster sugar and process again. Add cream andBaileys to processor and process until smooth, keep scraping sides and bottom of bowl to get lumps out. Pourin gelatine and process until smooth, scraping sides and around blade intermittently.Melt milk chocolate or chocolate bar and then pour into processor while blade is spinning – this avoids lumpsof chocolate from forming. Chop extra chocolate bar into small pieces. Scatter chocolate bar pieces intoprocessor bowl and gently pulse 2 or 3 times to distribute through cream cheese. Don’t over process at thisstage or you won’t have any Mars Bar/Toblerone chunks in the mixture.Pour cream cheese on top of base and smooth.
