FOR THE BASE
75g butter, melted, plus extra to grease
125g Oreo Chocolate Flavoured Creme biscuits

100g icing sugar, sifted
100g tinned caramel
200ml double cream
pinch of salt
40g salted pretzels, roughly chopped (optional)
- Lightly grease a 20cm round springform tin and line
base and sides with baking paper. - For the base, whizz biscuits and pretzels in a food
processor until finely crushed. (Alternatively, bash in
a food bag with a rolling pin.) Add melted butter and
pulse/mix until the mixture clumps together. Press
into base of the prepared tin, levelling with the back
of a spoon. Chill until needed. - Using a hand-held electric whisk, beat together cream
cheese, icing sugar and 50g caramel until smooth. Add
double cream and whisk again to soft peaks. Scrape into
the tin and smooth to level. - Mix remaining caramel with the pinch of salt, then
dollop small spoonfuls on top of the cream-cheese layer.
Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the caramel into the
cream-cheese mixture, then chill for at least 6 hours, or
overnight, until firm. - When ready to serve, transfer to a cake stand or plate,
removing the baking paper. Top with pretzels, if you like,
and serve in slices.
