4. Crush up the biscuits until they are crumbly.
5. Take the sweetened condensed milk, pour out one cup measurement from this, then add the REMAINDER to the biscuit crumbs.
6. Add the melted butter to the biscuit crumbs, then mix until blended through. Add the sugar and continue mixing until the mixture holds it's shape when you squeeze it.
7. Pour the base mixture into the pan and press it firmly, making sure it is as even as possible.

8. Filling:

9. Whip the cream until you get soft peaks, then set aside.
10. Beat all other fillings until smooth, then fold in the cream.
11. Pour into base then freeze for 2 hours, more if you have the time.

12. Icing:

13. Melt the jam over low heat and gradually stir in the sugar, making sure you don't get lumps. Check the taste as you go.
14. Let cool slighly then pour onto the cake and then sprinkle with the garnishes.
