Ingredients
For the base:
150g digestive biscuits
75g unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
300g full-fat cream cheese
200ml double cream
75g icing sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
Zest of ½ lemon (optional)
Suitable for: Clever Chop
The Method
Break the digestive biscuits into chunks and add them to the Clever Chop.
Pulse until they form fine crumbs.
Pour in the melted butter (make sure it’s slightly cooled but still liquid).
Pulse a few more times until the mixture looks like damp sand and starts to clump together slightly.
Tip the buttery crumbs into into a 20cm springform tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon to form an even base.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Add lemon zest if using.
Spread the filling over the chilled base and smooth the top. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
Top with fresh berries, fruit compote, or a drizzle of honey.
