This is a cheat treat dessert! The cheesecake biscuit log only takes 30 minutes to prepare, with the rest of the work done overnight by your fridge.

Ingredients

2 cups thickened cream

250 g packet Butternut Snap Cookies

¼ cup milk

Extra fresh passionfruit pulp, to decorate

Filling

125 g cream cheese, chopped, at room temperature

½ tsp finely grated lemon rind

½ cup sweetened condensed milk

2 tbsp fresh passionfruit pulp

1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

To make the filling, beat cream cheese and rind in a small bowl of an electric mixer until smooth. Add condensed milk, pulp, and juice. Beat until combined. Cover bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.

Beat cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

To assemble, spread ½ cup whipped cream onto a serving plate into a 5cm x 30cm rectangle. Dip one side of a biscuit into milk, then spread with 1 tbsp filling. Stand the biscuit upright on its edge in the cream. Repeat, sandwiching milk-dipped biscuits together with filling, to form a log shape.

4.Spread remaining whipped cream over top and sides of log. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.

Serve drizzled with extra passionfruit pulp. Cut diagonally into slices.
