Serves 8 Prep 25 mins plus chilling No Cook £1.30 a portion 667 kcals, 50g fat, 29g sat. fat, 44g sugar

2 x 150g bars white chocolate 2 x 300g tubs soft cheese (we used

Philadelph­ia) 284ml pot double cream 50g caster sugar 170g punnet raspberrie­s 5 tbsp raspberry jam 85g amaretti biscuits 200g small strawberri­es a few blueberrie­s (optional)

1 Break the chocolate into a glass bowl, then put it over a pan of just simmering water to melt, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Line a lightly oiled 900g loaf tin with cling film.

2 Whisk the cheese, cream and sugar together, preferably with electric beaters, then stir into the almost-cool melted white chocolate until well combined.

3 Stir 50g raspberrie­s with 2 tbsp of the jam. Spoon half the cheese mixture into the loaf tin, then spoon the jammy raspberrie­s down the centre. Top with the rest of the cheese mixture, level the top, then press in the biscuits. Cover and chill for 6 hrs or overnight.

4 Set aside about 6 strawberri­es. Halve the rest, then warm in a pan with the remaining jam until soft. Whizz in a food processor or with a hand blender, then rub through a sieve to remove the seeds and make a sauce. Add a drop of water if the sauce is too thick.

5 To serve, carefully turn the tin onto a plate, lift it away and strip off the cling film. Halve the remaining strawberri­es, then arrange on top of the cake with the remaining raspberrie­s and blueberrie­s (if using). Pour over a little sauce and serve the rest separately for drizzling over.
