Ingredients
-
2 packets Super Wine biscuits
-
150g melted butter
-
1 packet Berry Poppins Cheesecake Mix
-
500ml whipped Cream
-
500g cream cheese
-
250g Whittakers White Chocolate
-
Orange curd
-
1 cup of castor sugar
-
4 oranges for zest
-
1 cup fresh orange juice (the more sour / pulpy the better!)
- 3 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 125g butter, melted
-
Fresh berries (Ideally blackberries if you can find them)
Directions
Line a 9-inch cake tin with baking paper (high sides).
Combine 2 crushed packets of Super Wine biscuits with melted butter and press firmly into the tin. Refrigerate.
Dissolve the Berry Poppins packet in 1 cup of hot water. If the sugar in the mixture doesn’t dissolve after 5 minutes, microwave it for 10 seconds at a time until it does.
Whip the cream to stiff peaks, then set it aside.
Whisk the cream cheese until smooth, then add the melted white chocolate.
Slowly add the dissolved Berry Poppins mix to the cream cheese, ¼ cup at a time, while whisking.
Gently fold thru the whipped cream with a spatula. Be careful not to over mix.
Pour the mixture onto the base and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Serve with Cherie’s Cheat Orange Curd!
For the Orange Curd
In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs.
Next, whisk in the whole eggs, egg yolk, orange juice, and zest.
Pour in the slightly cooled melted butter and whisk to combine.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat in 1-minute intervals until the curd has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
Depending on your microwave, this will take 4 to 6 minutes. The curd will thicken further as it cools in the fridge.
