Chocolate cheesecake

“I like to smuggle healthy ingredients into my desserts where I can, and the avocado in the topping also helps this no-bake cheesecake become super creamy too. This serves 8-10 adults, but a few more if your diners are little!”

180g (6¼oz) porridge oats
100g (3½oz) unsalted butter, melted
