10g powdered gelatine dissolved in 2 tbsp water
300ml cold whipping cream
500g low-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
100g icing sugar, sifted
90g Aero Orange chocolate, finely chopped for filling

Instructions
Blitz digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with cocoa powder, orange zest, and melted baking spread.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the base of a 20cm springform tin and chill in the fridge.
Dissolve gelatine in water and set aside.
Beat cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Stir in the chopped Aero Orange chocolate and the dissolved gelatine.
Spread half the cream mixture over the biscuit base, then spoon the mincemeat over it.
Top with the remaining cream mixture and smooth the surface.
Chill for at least 6 hours until set.
