Ingredients
Scale
- 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 300g white chocolate, chopped
- 400g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 200ml heavy cream (double cream)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: lemon zest, fresh berries, white chocolate curls for topping
Instructions
- Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan or serving glasses. Chill while preparing the filling.
- Melt the white chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Stir the cooled white chocolate and vanilla extract into the cream cheese until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the white chocolate mixture.
- Spoon the mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap gently to level the surface.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Once set, decorate with berries, chocolate curls, or other desired toppings. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and structure.
- Let the white chocolate cool slightly before adding to the cream cheese to avoid curdling.
- For clean slices, warm a knife in hot water and wipe between cuts.
- Swap the crust with Oreos, shortbread, or almond flour for variations.
- Try adding lemon zest or raspberry swirl for flavor contrast.
