Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 ounces ginger cookies I used ‘ginger nuts’ which are perfect, but use any other type of cookie if you can’t find these
  • 7 ounces light cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup Greek yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 7 ounces good quality white chocolate plus a little extra for grating
  • 9 ounces blueberries
  • ground ginger optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Crush the cookies either in a food processor (or by putting them in a plastic bag and hitting them with a rolling pin like I did!)
  2. Using a handheld mixer (or in a food processor), whisk the cream cheese, yoghurt and vanilla together.
  3. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water or in a microwave in 30-second bursts. Let it cool slightly then whisk it into the cream cheese & yoghurt mixture until smooth.
  4. Put about a tablespoon of cookie crumbs in the bottom of a glass or sundae bowl, then top with a tablespoon of cheesecake, a tablespoon of blueberries and a light sprinkle of ginger and grated white chocolate. Add a second layer of each component, finishing with blueberries, more ginger and more grated white chocolate.
  5. Chill until ready to serve.
