Method

  1. Line a 19cm springform pan with plastic wrap. Lay sponge fingers on bottom of pan.

  3. In a bowl, beat remaining cream with icing mixture, until stiff, then set aside. 
  4. In another bowl mix together cream cheese, caster sugar, kiwi fruit mix and vanilla. Add chocolate to mix. Fold in prepared cream mixture.

  6. Place in fridge to set for 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Remove torte from springform pan and place extra sponge fingers around the outside of the torte. Secure with twine or decorative ribbon around sponge fingers, to keep in place.
  8. Place cut kiwi fruit and berries on top of mousse before serving.
