Heya Guys!!

SERVING: 3 Large portions
TIME: 20 minutes preparation, 1 hour chill time
INGREDIENTS
For the cheese cake filling:
- 3 heaped tbsps cream cheese
- 1 cup raspberries
- 3 tbsps caster sugar
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup grated white chocolate
For the biscuit base:
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 1 packet of preferred biscuits, we used digestive biscuits
For the topping:
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp granulated brown sugar
- ½ cup frozen raspberries
METHOD
For the topping:
-
Add frozen berries, vanilla essence, sugar and a 1/2 cup of water to a small saucepan. Heat on medium high.
-
Once the berries soften, mash them with a mwiko (wooden stick).
- Mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir into the raspberry sauce to make it thicker.
-
Let it cool while you prepare the rest of the dessert.
For the biscuit base:
- Grind the digestives to a powdery consistency. Alternatively, you could place the biscuits in a zip-lock bag and mash with a rolling pin.
- Mix with butter and place the mixture into the jars. You could leave it rugged or flatten the mixture in the jars. (We flattened it using the flat end of a coffee measuring spoon.)
- Place jars in fridge while you prepare the cheese cake filling.
For the cheese cake filling;
-
Whip the whipping cream and caster sugar with an electric mixer to get it creamy and fluffy (Alternatively, you could use ready made whipped cream)
-
Whip the cream cheese in a separate bowl until it gets a light and fluffy consistency.
-
Mix the whipping cream into the cream cheese. Add the white chocolate and drop in a few raspberries.
- Remove the jars from the fridge and divide the cheese cake filling among the three jars.
- Place the raspberry sauce over the filling and chill for an hour.
Serve chilled and enjoy!!
