Ingredients

  • FOR THE BASE:
  • 150 gm digestive biscuits
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • FOR CAKE:
  • 2 x 180 gm pack of Philadelphia cheese
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp corn flour
  • FOR TOPPING:
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 20 gm butter
  • 100 gm chocolate
  • 125 gm cream

Instructions

  • Crush the digestives and toss in the butter. Press down on an 8 inch springfoam pan. Leave in the fridge till the filling is prepared.
  • Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Keep a big pan with boiling water ready.
  • Whip the cream till stiff. In another bowl, add the remaining ingredients and whip till combined. Fold in the whipping cream. Pour on top of the biscuit base.
  • Slowly put into the pan with water. Put into the oven and bake for one hour.
  • Take out and remove the pan. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Chill at least for two hours till set.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the topping by putting sugar and water into a pan.
  • Keep swirling till sugar caramelizes and becomes an amber shade.
  • Drop in the butter. It will splutter, so stay away. Once the butter is incorporated, add the cream. Keep till warm and switch off.
  • Add the chocolate over the hot mixture and leave undistubed for a couple of minutes. Fold with a spatula till all melted. Allow it to cool completely.
  • Spread on top of the set cake. You may allow the ganache to set or serve immediately.
