Step 4: Using electric beaters, beat cream cheese, extra butter, icing sugar, and citrus rind until pale and creamy.
Step 5: Gradually beat in melted white chocolate until smooth.
Step 6: Gently fold whipped cream and chopped glacé cherries through the mixture until evenly combined.
Step 7: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled base, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top.
