Cherry ripe cheesecake

This deliciously pink cheesecake has a sneaky little cheat in the recipe - using jelly to set the cream cheese filling. How clever is that? Totally sinful, this is the dessert to make when you want to wow an audience of grateful diners.

  4. Fold through thickened cream and Cherry Ripe pieces. Pour onto crust, cover with cling wrap and chill until set.

Notes

Tip
This cheesecake recipe will set in about 2 hours but it tastes better if it’s left overnight.
Variation
If you can’t get your hands on Cherry Ripe bar you may be able to find some other type of cherry-chocolate bar that will do the job.
