Topping Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Start by **crushing the biscuits** into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin, or by pulsing in a food processor. The crumbs should be small enough to create a solid base for your snack.
Next, **mix the biscuit crumbs** with the melted butter in a large bowl until fully combined. This mixture will form the base of your treat, so ensure it’s moist but not overly wet.
Now, **press the mixture** firmly into the bottom of a greased 20-centimeter (8-inch) round baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to create an even layer.
Step 2
In another bowl, **whip the heavy cream** until it reaches soft peaks. This will add a lovely light texture to your filling. Be careful not to over-whip it, as we want it to remain smooth and airy.
In a large mixing bowl, **combine the cream cheese** with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is **smooth and creamy**. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula until just combined.
Step 3
Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared biscuit base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Make sure to cover the base completely, creating a lovely contrast between the crust and filling.
Now, **refrigerate the snack** for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set completely. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
Step 4
Once set, **remove from the pan** and cut into slices or squares as desired. Decorate with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top for an elegant touch.
For an extra festive flair, you can add fresh berries or edible flowers as a garnish. This not only enhances the appearance but also adds a burst of freshness to each bite.
Now, serve your delicious New Year's Eve movie snack and enjoy the celebration!
Servings
When it comes to serving this scrumptious pastry, the possibilities are endless! ✨ Picture a beautiful plate shared among family and friends, perhaps with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for that snowy effect. Serving suggestions: pair it with fresh fruits like berries or sliced oranges for a punch of freshness. You can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a delightful indulgence! 🍦🎉
Feeling extra special? Create a festive atmosphere by sprinkling some festive-themed decorations around the serving plate. 🌟 A warm cup of cinnamon-spiced hot chocolate or spiced apple cider complements the pastry beautifully and brings that holiday cheer to life! 🥤

Variations
Exciting news for those with dietary preferences! 🌱 You can easily adapt this pastry recipe to fit gluten-free and vegan lifestyles!
For a gluten-free version, simply swap out regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to include a binding agent, such as xanthan gum, to maintain texture. ❤️
If you’re looking to make it vegan, replace eggs with flaxseed meal or a store-bought egg replacer! Use plant-based milk and butter for a delicious, dairy-free option. These swaps maintain the pastry’s deliciousness while catering to your preferences! 🍰
Faq
- What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
Add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency. Remember, it shouldn’t be too dry either!
- How can I tell when my pastry is done baking?
The top should be golden brown, and if you gently tap on it, it should sound hollow. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Can I freeze the pastry after baking?
Absolutely! Let it cool completely, wrap it tightly in plastic, then foil, and store it in a freezer bag for up to three months. Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before enjoying.
- How do I prevent my pastry from getting soggy?
Ensure your filling isn’t too wet, and consider blind-baking the crust before adding the filling to create a solid base!
- What if I want to add more flavor?
Add vanilla extract or citrus zest to your dough or experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm kick!
- How can I make the pastry decorations stand out?
Use a simple icing drizzle or sprinkle some edible glitter on top to make your pastries pop! Use thicker glaze for a more dramatic effect.
