Beat cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add condensed milk, beating constantly. Beat in lemon juice (or vanilla essence), scraping down mixture from sides of bowl as you beat, until thickened.

Whisk gelatin into water until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly. stir gelatin mixture into cream cheese mixture. Fold in cream and pour over prepared biscuit base.

Pour melted chocolate buttons over filling and working quickly use the point of a knife to swirl the chocolate through filling to make a marbled effect. Or cover the filling completely with the grated chocolate.

Additional Information

The vanilla or lemon juice quantities are to personal taste if you like a real lemony flavor add more or less. Same with the vanilla, use to your taste. I usually use chocolate ripple biscuits, but have also used triple choc biscuits. Basically any plain chocolate biscuit with no icing or cream will do. I like to keep ours in the freezer, it becomes more like an ice creamy, cheesecakey bar.
