A massive hit! Great to bring along to BBQs or as a dessert when guests pop over for dinner.

You can vary the falour of the jelly used for the topping.

    I tried making this but I ended up with watery jelly all over my kitchen bench and floor! I don’t know how you’re supposed to be able to pour liquid into a springform tin and not let it seep thru the bottom as springform tins are not fully sealed??? Advice please?

      Shierly, you need to ensure your cream cheese layer goes right to the sides of the tin. Do not leave a gap – the liquid will naturally fall through any gaps. This is why you would have had jelly everywhere. As you can see from my picture (or many on google) a clear jelly layer is very possible. You just need to ensure your cheesecake layer has no gaps.

    Also could you please advise what size of tin to use, as I think mine turned out to be way too big. Thanks.

      22 or 24cm. It changes each time depending on which one is clean. 22 is better.

    I used half the cream cheese and made this into a slice for my daughter’s class. I used gluten free biscuits so her best friend could have some too. It was really delicious and very popular!
