Jelly Cheesecake 






Ingredients:

5 flavoured jelly ( any flavour you prefer in my video I use mango, berry ,lime,raspberry, orange )

100 g melted butter
20 pcs marie or any plain biscuits will do 
2 packs or 500 g cream cheese 
1 can 395 g condensed milk 
1/4 cup boiling water 
3 tsp of unflavoured gelatine


*Empty packets of jelly in a bowl and add 1 cup of boiling water. Stir and dissolve well. Refrigerate until firm.
       ( I added less water in the jelly since I want the jelly to be firmer. Package instructions requires            500 ml but I want the jelly to set firmer and faster. )

*Line springform pan with baking paper

*Process the biscuits in a food processor or use rolling pin to crush the biscuits into fine crumbs. 

*Melt the butter, and combine it with the crushed biscuits mix well until it resembles into a wet sand. 

* Press the biscuit base into the springform pan and place in the fridge while moving on to the next        step.

* Once the jelly is set cut it in to cubes, about 2-3 cm cubes.Set aside. 

*Sprinkle the gelatin in the hot water set aside. 

* Using electric beater beat cream cheese  about 1 to  2 minutes then add the condensed milk continue       beating the mixture until smooth.

*Re heat the gelatin in the microwave for about 7 seconds make sure that is warm not hot before            adding it to the cheesecake filling. 

*Fold in the flavoured jelly into the cheesecake filling in 2 additions make sure to set aside some jelly to   go on top of the cheesecake for decoration 

* Pour cheesecake into the prepared springform pan. Add the reserve jelly on top in ramdom. Tap on    the counter couple of times to get rid of air bubbles 

* Let the Jelly cheesecake set for aboyt 4-6 hours preferably overnight.
