Recipe to use Dream Topping + Cream Cheese?

Get your thinking hats on folks.. I have half a tub of cream cheese sat in the fridge (left over from an expensive, million calorie birthday cheesecake) which won't get used as we don't like cream cheese... and a pack of birds dream topping. I'm sure someone here can think of something to use the two up :D

    yup i do too :D
    just not entirely sure how to combine them to make it :)
  • This is the recipe I use and it is lovely, the best bit is that the crushed pineapple gives a knobbly appearance to the cream cheese/dream topping mix so it doesn't matter if you haven't combined them too well. Sadly it has been a long time since I ate a pudding as I am on a sodding diet:rolleyes:

    Pineapple Cheesecake X6-8

    Base: 8oz digestives, 2oz butter, 1 tbsp syrup. Melt butter and syrup and add crushed biscuits. Press into tin and refrigerate to set.

    Topping: 8oz cream cheese
    1 pkt dream topping
    1 tin crushed pineapple (the large one)
    Drain juice off pineapple. Make up Dream Topping as instructed. Mix together and put over base. Allow to set in fridge.

    To freeze: open freeze then place in freezer bag. To soften c cheese micrwave for 5-10 secs on H. Helps it to mix better

    Alternative base: 3 oz butter 8oz p choc dig or 6oz plain 2oz milk.
