This is absolutely DELICIOUS!! I have cut and pasted it from Taste!
Violet Crumble Cheesecake!
Ingredients (serves 12)
3 tsp gelatine powder
375g pkt cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup (115g) caster sugar
300ml thickened cream
2 x 145g pkts Violet Crumble bites, roughly crushed
1 x Packet Milk Arrowroots
75g Unsalted butter
Bikki Base - I just used a packet of milk arrowroots wizzed in the food processor and 75gs melted Unsalted Butter.
Method
Base
Step 1: Detach the base of a springform pan. Invert the base (this will prevent the biscuit base from sticking in the groove, making it easier to transfer the cheesecake). Place a sheet of non-stick baking paper over the base, allowing sides to overhang. Return the base to the pan and secure.
Step 2: Use a straight-sided glass to spread and press the biscuit mixture over the base and side of the pan. Press the mixture into the side before you do the base to ensure the mixture doesn't build up too much in the corners.
Step 3: Use the back of a teaspoon to smooth out any ridges around the rim of the pan. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes, allowing the biscuit mixture to become firm
Filling
1. Sprinkle the gelatine over 1/4 cup (60ml) of water in a heatproof bowl. Place in a saucepan over simmering water and stir until the gelatine has dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Use an electric beater to beat the cream cheese, vanilla essence and sugar until smooth. Use clean electric beaters to beat the cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Fold the cream into the cream cheese mixture with the gelatine and half the Violet Crumble.
3.Spoon the cheese mixture into the pan and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Scatter with the remaining Violet Crumble to serve.
Good luck hun!
