What you need
Base
- 200g chocolate fingers
- 80g unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 500g Anchor Traditional Cream Cheese, softened
- 100g caster sugar
- 300ml Anchor Cream
- 60ml boiling water
- 3 tsp gelatine powder
- 1 cup Fresh’n Fruity Fruit of the Forest Yoghurt

Here's how it's done
- Grease a 20-23cm spring-form cake tin and line the base with baking paper.
- Blend the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined. Press mixture into the base of the tin and pop in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
- Place the cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl and beat until smooth.
- Beat the cream until thick peaks form.
- In a small bowl or ramekin, pour in the boiling water and sprinkle the gelatine over top. Mix to dissolve using a fork and leave to cool slightly.
- Beat the gelatin into cream cheese mix until well combined. Add the yoghurt and beat again.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream, marshmallows and chocolate.
- Pour over the base and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve with your choice of fresh berries and grated dark chocolate.
