Method

Caramilk Crackle Base

  1. Line the base and sides of a 3.5cm-deep, 27.5cm x 17.5cm (base measurement) slice pan with baking paper, allowing paper to extend 3cm above sides.
  2. Place the Copha and chocolate into a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Add Rice Bubbles and coconut and mix well.
  3. Spoon mixture into prepared slice pan. Press firmly to make an even base. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Caramel Swirl Cheesecake Filling

  1. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add gelatine mixture and Copha. Beat until smooth.
  2. Add gelatine mixture and Copha. Beat until smooth. Fold through whipped cream.
  3. Spoon into prepared pan. Dollop over caramel and use a skewer or chopstick to swirl through the cheesecake mixture. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until cheesecake is set.
  4. Use a warm dry knife to cut into squares.

Tips: Copha and chocolate can be melted in the microwave on high in 30 second bursts. Stir until smooth and combined. Slice can be made 2 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Caramel can be purchased from the spread aisle of your supermarket. We used Bonne Maman.
