Instructions

Crush the biscuits in a blender until quite fine. Add the butter and press around the base and sides of a 8-9 inch, 20-22cm flan or pie tin. Bake for 10-15 minutes and leave to cool.

Filling:beat together the cream cheese and a little more than half the sugar. Beat in the vanilla, chocolate and egg yolks, one at a time. Lightly whip the cream until it just holds shape and fold into the mixture.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff and without ceasing to whisk add remaining sugar, a spoonful at a time. Fold into mixture. Chill in fridge for several hours before serving.

Please note:
This recipe uses raw eggs and should therefore be considered as offering a potential risk of Salmonella to certain groups. If you, or anyone likely to consume this dessert, is or may be at risk, I would suggest that you consider Pasteurising the eggs before use to remove the risk.
