• 175ml whipping cream
• 150g cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

recipe:

1. Crush the digestive biscuits into a fine crumb you can have a few lumps if you like or a fine crumb for a smaller more delicate base
   
2. melt the butter in a microwave or even over the hob to ensure all is melted fully 
   
3.  then mix the biscuits crumbed mixture with the melted butter 
   
4. add 1 tablespoon of the demerara sugar to the biscuit buttery mix and mix fully to ensure all the biscuits are covered with butter and sugar equally

6. then refrigerate the base while you make the topping
7. pour the cream into a clean bowl and whip cream until soft peak stage.

9. Fold in cream and the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly if you don't want two colours skip to stage 11 
   
10. separate the mixture into two bowls and leave one mixture how it is and add red food die to the next one (add food dye to your preference but ensure that there spare icing sugar in case it starts going a little bit runny)
    
11. Spread into tin on top of crushed biscuits you can do layers or swirls or make up your own pattern to what you prefer. (remember if you don't want to colours skip stage 10).
