Description
A rich and creamy dessert featuring a biscuit base, cream cheese filling, and a swirl of dulce de leche topped with sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400g Arnott’s Granita biscuits, coarsely chopped
- 175g butter, melted
- 125g butter, chopped, at room temperature
- 250g cream cheese, at room temperature
- 150g icing sugar mixture
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300ml thickened cream, whipped to firm peaks
- 170g dulce de leche
- 3 tsp sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Grease a 5cm-deep, 20cm x 26cm roasting pan and line with baking paper, allowing the paper to overhang the long sides.
- Place biscuits into a food processor and process until coarse crumbs. Add melted butter and process until combined.
- Transfer two-thirds of the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a flat-bottomed glass to press mixture evenly over base. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill. Transfer remaining crumb mixture to a bowl. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
- Use electric beaters to beat cream cheese, extra butter, icing sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until pale and creamy.
- Use a spatula to fold the cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Spoon half over the biscuit base. Top with dulce de leche and swirl gently. Sprinkle with salt. Top with remaining cream cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle over remaining biscuit crumbs. Place in the fridge for 4 hours or up to overnight to set. Transfer to a serving board. Slice into 16 pieces to serve.
Notes
- Dulce de leche is a butterscotch-flavored sauce made from simmering milk with sugar.
- Use vanilla extract for a balanced flavor. Vanilla bean paste or concentrated versions are also good options.
- Chill the cream and bowl for best results when whipping cream.
