Apricot Halves in Clear Fruit Juice

Tips

Try making this as individual serve cheesecakes - see our serving options below.

Method

1. Crush the biscuits either in a food processor or place in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix with the butter and use to line the base and sides of a 20cm loose bottom flan tin.

2. Strain the Wattie's Apricots in Clear Fruit Juice and discard the juice. Cut the apricot halves into 4 pieces.

3. Fold the apricots with the cheesecake filling to make a smooth mix.

4. Spread into the prepared flan tin and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set. Serve in wedges.

Alternatively - Rather than make into a cheesecake, prepare the crumbs and cheeesecake mix to point 3. Take 6 individual serving glasses and layer the crumbs with the cheesecake mix. Garnish with a little grated orange zest. Refrigerate for 15 minute before serving
