INSTRUCTIONS
Combine crushed biscuits with the melted butter and mix well.
Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a 25cm spring-form pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
Whip the cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth.
Sprinkle gelatine over hot water, whisking it with a fork to fully dissolve. Allow to cool slightly then add to the cream mixture and mix well.
