Notes

• Some similiar recipes to this use no gelatine at all but I prefer to use a satchet to ensure a firm cheese mix.
• The cake in the recipe picture was very large and I used a double quantity of everything for the photograph.
• This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, New Zealand’s best recipe finder.
