- Wash and dry the food processor and add cream cheese, whipping cream and vanilla. Blend until just combined. Do not over process otherwise the cake will be a bit hard when set.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave at a 30 second interval or a double boiler.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a bowl.
- Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and mix.
- NOTE: If you use cold cream cheese or whipping cream at this stage, adding melted chocolate will make lumps of chocolate within the mixture which will become difficult to fix. So please make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.
- Melt gelatin for 30 seconds in microwave and add to the cream cheese mixture and mix with the help of spatula. Do not whip.
- Pour the mixture over the cookie base in the spring from pan and refrigerate overnight.
