This is my attempt at a no-bake cheesecake without a crust, instead I am going to roll cut squares of the cheesecake in powdered biscuits. This is how I had it once at a restaurant and it was fantastic. I will be serving it with berry coulis.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 packet of shortbread biscuits
• 1 tsp mixed spice
• 2 tsp gelatine
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 x 250 g cream cheese
• 400 g sweetened condensed milk
• 300 ml cream
• 150 g white chocolate

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave.
2. Sprinkle gelatine over the water in small heatproof jug, stand in small saucepan of simmering water and stir until gelatine dissolves. Cool for a few minutes. Don’t let it set otherwise you need to melt it again. It will go lumpy otherwise (I learnt this the hard way).
3. Beat cheese and condensed milk with electric mixer until smooth.
4. Beat cream in small bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form.
5. Stir warm gelatine mixture into cheese mixture.
6. Fold in cream and melted chocolate.
7. Pour into tin and refrigerate for 4-5 hours to set.
8. Blitz the biscuits into a very fine crumb and mix in the mixed spice (save some shortbreads for plating on the side).
9. Once the filling has chilled, remove and slice it into squares or whatever shape you want.
10. Roll the squares in the crumb mixture and plate with berry coulis, Saved shortbreads and some additional crumb.
