INGREDIENTS…
Serves 12
For the base:
300g digestive biscuits
150g butter
For the filling:
495g full fat cream cheese (3x165g tubs)
140g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract/paste
250ml Dale Farm double cream
300g white chocolate
250g fresh raspberries
To decorate:
White chocolate curls (or grated white chocolate)
Extra raspberries
INSTRUCTIONS…
Crush the biscuits in a food bag with a rolling pin until really fine crumbs. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and then pour in the biscuit crumbs. Stir well to combine.
Transfer into an 8 or 9 inch springform tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon or a potato masher.
Place in the fridge.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30 second intervals until fully melted stirring well each time - set aside and leave to cool.
Add the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla into a large bowl and mix using a hand mixer together until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until fairly thick. Add into the cream cheese bowl and fold through with a spatula.
Pour in the cooled white chocolate, and mix briefly with the mixer to combine. Fold through the raspberries.
Spoon the filling on top of the biscuit base, smooth out the top and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
Decorate with raspberries around the edges and cover the middle with white chocolate curls. Best served immediately but will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.
