My eldest son lives on the other side of the Earth .. Well he lives over an hour away from me, but as a mother it feels like the other side of the Earth to be so far away from my boy!
Like most early 20's kids, he only comes to visit when he wants something lol - but even so, I love the days when he comes home, so I usually make his favourite desserts when he comes back, which is cheesecake or pumpkin pie.
I made a timtam cheesecake and he ate almost the whole thing, lucky he left a piece for his other two siblings!
INGREDIENTS
2 Packets of original Timtams
80g butter - melted - cooled
1/4 cup boiling water
3 tsp gelatine powder
Double pack of Philly Cream Cheese - softened
1/2 Cup of caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste or essence
1 cup of thickened cream
180g block of white chocolate - melted
Extra chopped Timtams
METHOD
Process 300g of Timtams until crumbed - add cooled butter
Press mixture over base and sides of a 20cm spring pan and put in the fridge
Sprinkle gelatine over boiling water and stir - set aside
Roughly chop remaining biscuits
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla until fluffy
Add the cream
Gradually add the gelatine
Beat until thoroughly mixed
Spoon into the base
