Tim Tam cheesecake

No-bake cheesecake with a tim tam base

INGREDIENTS

Base

• 11 tim tams

• 3 tbsps butter

Filling

• 500ml whipped cream

• 500g cream cheese

• 130g powdered sugar

• 1/2 tsp vanilla

• 6 tim tams

METHOD

1. Start by blending together the tim tams and butter in a food processor. It should form a crumb that will come together when you press it together (if it is not coming together add some more butter).

2. In a lined cake tin press the tim tams and butter mixture evenly into the base then place into the freezer while you make the filling.

3. Next whip the cream in a stand mixer and remove from the mixing bowl and set aside.

4. Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to the stand mixer bowl and mix together until combined and soft.

5. Then crush up the tim tams and add them to the bowl with the vanilla and mix with the cream cheese and powdered sugar.

6. Finally, gently fold in 3/4 whipped cream until combined.

7. Pour the mixture into the cake tin on top of the base and refrigerate for 4 hrs or overnight.

8. Once it is set pipe the rest of the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake.

NOTES

• You can choose how fine you want to crush up the tim tams for inside the cheese cake (I put them into a plastic bag and crushed them with a rolling pin).

• Make sure not to over whip your cream or it can turn into butter.

• You can also freeze the cheesecake if you are wanting to keep it for longer and then you can just defrost it in the fridge and enjoy.
