Instructions
 

Biscuit Base

  • Break up the biscuits in a food processor, or put them in a plastic sandwich bag and use a rolling pin to break them up.
    300 g digestives
  • Melt the butter in 10-second bursts in the microwave and mix it into the biscuit crumbs when it's melted.
    150 g unsalted butter
  • Add the buttery crumbs to the cake tin and press down firmly to compact them into a layer.
  • Leave the base to set in the fridge.

Brandy Cheesecake Filling

  • In a bowl whisk the Philadelphia cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth with an electric hand whisk.
    600 g Philadelphia cream cheese, 120 g icing sugar
  • Stir in the cream. Then whisk again until combined and thick.
    300 ml double cream / heavy cream
  • Crumble up the Christmas pudding and add it to the mix. (Save a little for the decoration)
    ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Remove the biscuit base from the fridge and spoon in the creamy filling. Level it out and chill it in the fridge for a few hours or even over night. You could also freeze it for a few hours if you are short on time.

Decoration

  • Using an electric whisk, whip up the double cream until it starts to thicken.
    150 ml double cream / heavy cream
  • Add the double cream to a piping bag with a star nozzle. Pipe the cream around the outside of the cheesecake.
  • Decorate with even more Christmas pudding and your favourite sprinkles.

Notes

  • If you don't have enough Christmas pudding to mix in the cream layer and top you can do either.
