- Press the base mix onto a bottom of a spring form tin, as evenly as you can, set aside
- Having ensured the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature, combine the two using an electric mixer. Mix in the sieved icing sugar, and finally the cream. Beat for a few minutes on a medium speed, it should be a homogenous mixture.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave and add it to the filling, while mixing. Mix for five to ten minutes, the chocolate should cool down and cause the mix to gain a more solid consistency.
- Pour the filling onto the base and even the top with a spatula, or knife.
- Decorate!
