80g powdered sugar

150g fresh raspberries (plus extra for topping)

Instructions
- Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 20cm springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Melt the white chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, then let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold the cooled white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Lightly mash half of the raspberries and fold them into the filling, leaving the rest whole for texture.
- Pour the mixture over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Before serving, decorate with extra raspberries, white chocolate shavings, and mint leaves if desired.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits for the crust.
You can substitute raspberries with other berries like strawberries or blueberries.
To enhance the flavor, add lemon or orange zest to the filling.
A chocolate cookie crust can be used for a richer variation.
