Method
Caramilk Crackle Base
- Line the base and sides of a 3.5cm-deep, 27.5cm x 17.5cm (base measurement) slice pan with baking paper, allowing paper to extend 3cm above sides.
- Place the Copha and chocolate into a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Add Rice Bubbles and coconut and mix well.
- Spoon mixture into prepared slice pan. Press firmly to make an even base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Caramel Swirl Cheesecake Filling
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the gelatine mixture and Copha. Beat until smooth. Fold through whipped cream.
- Spoon into prepared pan. Dollop over caramel and use a skewer or chopstick to swirl through the cheesecake mixture. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until cheesecake is set.
- Use a warm dry knife to cut into finger slices or squares.
Tips & Hints:
- Copha and chocolate can be melted in the microwave on high in 30 second bursts. Stir until smooth and combined.
- This cheesecake slice can be made 2 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate.
- Caramel spread can be purchased from the spread aisle of your supermarket. We used Bonne Maman.
