Ingredients

  • For the base:
  • 150g (5oz) digestive biscuits
  • 25g (1oz) butter
  • For the cheesecake:
  • 3 x 200g pack soft cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 50g (2oz) caster sugar
  • 60ml (2fl oz) double cream
  • 180g (5oz) finest* Morello Cherry Conserve
  • chocolate shavings, to serve (optional)
  • ground pistachios, to serve (optional)

Directions

  1. Place the biscuits into a food processor and whizz until almost fine. Heat the butter until melted. Add the biscuits to the pan and stir until coated. Divide the buttery biscuit mixture between 6 x 200ml (1/3 pint) glass clip-top jars and level with a teaspoon. Chill for 15 minutes.
  2. While the bases are chilling, add the soft cheese to a bowl with the vanilla bean paste, the sugar and double cream and beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Spoon 3 tbsp mixture on top of each base and level with a teaspoon. Top with 2 tbsp jam in each jar and level as before. Spoon the remaining cheesecake mixture on top and gently swirl with a teaspoon. Top each cheesecake with a cherry and close the jars. Chill for up to 24 hours before transporting.
