Process the biscuits to a fine crumb in a blender. Add the sugar and blitz again until combined.
Melt the butter and add to the crumb and sugar mixture and mix well.
Line a nine inch circular sprung form cake tin with greaseproof paper on the bottom and add the biscuit mixture. Spread around and flatten so it has an even layer in the tin.
Place in the fridge and leave to set for 20 minutes.
Put the icing sugar and cream cheese in a bowl and mix together until you have a smooth consistency. Add the seeds from the vanilla pod (or 1 tsp of vanilla extract) and then fold in the double cream. Fold until smooth and creamy.
Put the cream mixture over the biscuit base in the tin and spread to an even layer making sure there are no air bubbles.
Put in the fridge and leave to set for 1 hour.
Once set you can add a fruit topping of your choice or serve with a fresh fruit sauce (see my raspberry sauce recipe).
Remove from the tin, cut into slices and serve with the sauce.
