Raspberry Cheesecake Mess

Tasty different version of Eton Mess - you need to put it together at max 30 minutes before eating as the meringue dissapears
For the coulis
150g raspberries
1 tbsp icing sugar

For the cream:
200g full-fat cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp icing sugar
200ml double cream

To assemble
4 Broken Meringues nests
150g raspberries
4 ginger biscuits, crushed

1.   For the coulis, put the raspberries and icing sugar in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water and cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring so they break up. Sieve, discarding the seeds, then leave to cool.
2.   Beat the cream cheese with the vanilla and icing sugar until soft and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until thick, then fold into the cheese mixture.

3.   Crumble the meringues and layer in four large glasses with spoonfuls of the cream, raspberries, coulis and crushed biscuits. Serve.
