Heat the remaining 200 ml of heavy cream until hot.
Slice the candies into thin pieces.

Add the candies to the hot heavy cream and stir until dissolved - cool.
Step 2 - preparing the cheesecake
Blend or crush the biscuits until very fine. Add melted butter and mix.
130 g biscuits, approx 60 g butter
