Fairy Floss (Cotton Candy) frozen Cheesecake

I like giving myself a bit of a challenge and I thought this cheesecake would be difficult, but it was eesy peesy.
The challenge comes later today when I get started on the Xmas Macaron's ...
This cheesecake is going to the son's Xmas party on the weekend, the one I have been invited to but have to do most the cooking for!!

INGREDIENTS


  • 200g pkts of classic Tim Tams x 2
  • 250g pkt cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 250g mascarpone
  • Pink food colouring
  • handful red glace cherries, finely chopped
  • 2 bags of strawberry flavoured fairy floss - plus extra to decorate.

METHOD

  1. Lightly grease a 7.5 deep loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with baking paper.
  2. Process one packet of Tim Tams in the food processor until finely crushed. Press firmly into lined pan with the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge.
  3. Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Beat the cream in a separate bowl until almost whipped. 
  4. Fold the mascarpone into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the cream, until combined.
  5. Tint with a drop of food colouring.
  6. Fold in the cherries.
