  • 1. Prepare the biscuit flan by placing the biscuits into a strong freezer bag, and crushing them using a rolling pin until fine crumbs are left. Pour in the melted butter and squeeze bag until butter and crumbs are all combined.

    2. Tip crumbs into a loose base 20cm/8″ deep flan ring or cake tin and push crumbs flat using the back of a metal spoon. Place into the fridge to chill.

    3. Add gelatine into a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to soak.

    4. Place the bowl of soaked gelatine over simmering water, stirring until the gelatine runs clear and is completely dissolved.

    5. Place all the filling ingredients into a processor with the soaked gelatine and whiz to combine until smooth. Alternatively beat together with an electric whisk. Pour onto biscuit base. Chill until set for up to 2 hours.

    6. Prepare fruit topping. Mash half of the defrosted fruits and combine with the sugar in a jug. Combine water with the arrowroot in a small cup to make a smooth runny paste. Stir into the mashed fruit. Heat gently in the microwave for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the remaining whole drained fruit and chill until required.

    7. Remove flan ring and base, top cheesecake with the fruit, and serve
