Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g plain digestive biscuits, broken into large pieces
- 75 g (1/2 cup) pistachio kernels, coarsely chopped
- 65 g (1 cup) shredded coconut, lightly toasted
- 200 g butter, melted, plus 125 g extra, chopped, at room temperature
- 55 g (1/4 cup) caster sugar
- 250 g cream cheese, at room temperature
- 150 g (1 cup) icing sugar mixture
- 2 tsp finely grated orange or lemon rind
- 180 g white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 300 ml thickened cream, whipped
- 150 g red glacé cherries, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Grease a 20 × 26 cm roasting pan (5 cm deep) and line with baking paper, allowing overhang for easy lifting later.
- In a food processor, combine biscuits, pistachios, and toasted coconut. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add melted butter and caster sugar, and process until combined.
- Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared pan using the base of a glass. Chill for 30 minutes to firm. Reserve the remaining mixture for topping.
- Using electric beaters, beat cream cheese, extra butter, icing sugar, and citrus rind until pale and creamy.
- Gradually beat in melted white chocolate until smooth.
- Gently fold whipped cream and chopped glacé cherries through the mixture until evenly combined.
- Spread the filling evenly over the chilled base, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
- Lift the slice from the pan using the baking paper and cut into squares with a warm, dry knife.
