3. In a small saucepan, put the gelatin with the 60ml water and soak for 10 mins to soften then stir over low heat until dissolved. Meanwhile, chop the chocolate biscuit bars into small chunks.
4. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, cocoa, and vanilla.
5. Gradually add the gelatin mixture, and mix until smooth.
6. Fold in chopped biscuits, marshmallows and cherries. Lightly whip the cream until softly peaking then fold into the mixture. Spoon evenly over the base then chill until firm.
7. Melt the chocolate and drizzle over the top.
