Indulge in a decadent double cherry cheesecake jelly slice for a festive treat.
Ingredients:
  • 250g plain chocolate biscuits (see notes)
  • 80g butter, melted
  • 82.50 gm boiling water
  • 6.00 gm powdered gelatine
  • 250g cream cheese, softened
  • 117.50 gm sour cream
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 126.25 gm thickened cream, whipped
  • 200g fresh cherries, pitted, quartered
  • 300g fresh cherries, pitted
  • 161.25 gm caster sugar
  • 250.00 ml sour cherry nectar (see notes)
  • 12.00 gm powdered gelatine
Instructions:
  • Prepare your 20cm square cake pan by greasing it and lining the base and sides with baking paper, making sure to extend the paper 5cm above the edges of the pan.
  • Pulse biscuits in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Add butter and pulse until mixture comes together. Press biscuit mixture evenly onto the base of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before using.
  • Pour boiling water into a heatproof bowl and sprinkle gelatine over it. Whisk until fully dissolved, then set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
  • With an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Mix in gelatin mixture and gently fold in whipped cream and cherries. Pour the mixture over the biscuit base and chill for 2 hours until firm.
  • Prepare Cherry Jelly: Combine cherries, sugar, nectar, and 1/2 cup of cold water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8 minutes until cherries are softened. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then blend the mixture until smooth in a food processor. Strain the mixture through a muslin-lined sieve to remove solids. Add gelatin to the liquid and stir until dissolved. Let it cool for 15 minutes before using.
  • Drizzle jelly mixture over cheesecake, then chill for 2 to 3 hours until firm. Slice into 12 pieces and enjoy!
