Instructions
- 1Oil and line a 20cm round loose- bottomed cake tin with cling film, making it as smooth as possible. Melt the butter in a pan. Crush the biscuits by bashing them in a bag with a rolling pin, then stir them into the butter until very well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the tin and chill.
- 2Soak the plant-based gelatin in water while you make the filling. Tip the ricotta into a bowl, then beat in the peanut butter and syrup. Ricotta has a slightly grainy texture so blitz until smooth with a stick blender for a smoother texture if you prefer.

Chef tips
For a smooth, lump-free texture, make sure the cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend perfectly without overbeating and adding unwanted air. For a festive touch, top with a dark or milk chocolate ganache. For a gluten-free option, use crushed gluten-free cookies mixed with melted butter for a delicious, crispy crust everyone can enjoy.
