I blame you lot over the pond for foisting bloody Blueberries on us, Blackcurrant anything is as rare as hen's teeth now!

That being said, I googled 'Chinese cheesecake' and this image popped up. The topping here looks vaguely like a deconstructed version of the inflatable chair on the Kit Kat wrapper:

That's tofu, wasabi, green tea, and cheesecake flavours, just in case you were wondering.

They're all Japanese, by the way.
2nd one down is green tea, 3rd cheesecake (strawberry cheesecake), and the bottom one is wasabi.

I still think the cheesecake one would be decent. Jury's out on the rest though.

I have been able to get blackcurrant jam here, there's bound to be a way I can adapt that into a cheesecake topping. I'm sure I can find digestives online, if Walmart has stopped selling them as well. World Market may be my friend here ...

I might make one for Christmas, actually. Or a Victoria sponge. Curse my wife for getting me sucked in to GBBO on Netflix. I was supposed to not like it and be all cool and contrarian

That's surprising about the strawberry one. I can't imagine tea flavoured anything but actual tea would be that good anyway.
