Method

  1. Crush or lightly blitz your Thistlewood biscuits to form a crumb. Mix the crumbs and coconut oil together until combined. Add 2 loosely-packed tablespoons of crumb to the bottom of each mould or serving dish, and use your fingers or a spoon to pack it down firmly.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese with a spoon until soft. Add dry instant pudding mix, yogurt, skim milk, and 1 teaspoon coconut extract. Mix well with a wire whisk. Spread mixture evenly onto the crumb. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, or until firmly set.
  3. Serve with a healthy teaspoon of Thistlewood Red Cherry “Sugar free” jam (no added sugar, sweetened with sorbitol).

You can use any one of our yummy Thistlewood no added sugar (sucrose) jams to tantalize your taste buds. Available in Strawberry, Apricot, Marmalade, Raspberry, Gooseberry & Cherry.
