I don't usually use package mixes but a friend recommended the Edmonds Cheesecake mix. Have now made it twice, so easy and makes a really high dessert. I have swirled passion fruit through the mix so you could add flavour by mixing anything you like through, maybe raspberries or strawberries for Christmas? You won't be disappointed and nobody needs to know it was from a packet.

This chocolate cheesecake is so yummy and so easy to make, it's a vegan recipe. I have made it twice and everyone has liked it, including my cheesecake hating hubby. It will definitely be on our Christmas dessert list this year.

* Any flavoured jelly can be used - have made boysenberry with real boysenberries mixed into filling mixture. You can also add chocolate chips etc.
I made this for a function we were attending & a chef from Wellington asked me for my cheesecake recipe - he looked a bit stunned when I told him what was in it.

YOU CHEAT!
**sniggers** I've done this too.

LOL, sure they do. it's distinctive.

. and I have to say, way better than a bought from supermarket cheesecake, with it's wobbly goo and jelly on top.
Nothing wrong with the Edmonds mix actually, and couldn't get any easier.

didnt see this thread, when I posted before.
how could you put jelly on top to give a nice look.
is that what is on shop ones.

korbo, Oct 5, 11:59pm
well after much debating, I decided to make the one with a jelly in it.
Lo and behold, there was a recipe on the back of the jelly packet.
I have made it, and it has now set firmly in the fridge.
If I wanted to put a topping on, could you make another jelly, cool it and then pour over. I guess it would set.
cant wait for the lamb roast and dessert tonight.

That should work OK korbo. I made the Chocoholics cheesecake in post #6 again today. As I made it for tonights dessert I added 2 teasp gelatine to the filling to help it set quickly. I usually make it a day before and leave it overnight in the fridge to set. It was a great hit and although a vegan recipe we like it, very chocolatey, no dairy.

The cheesecake was devine. I made a lime jelly and put that on top.
Just wished I had some fresh strawberries or chocolate curls to go on top.
It must be years since I made one, and using the recipe on the jelly packet was just so easy. Didnt fancy sour cream and whipped cream, as what was in one recipe. Too much for me.
Next time will use a rasberry jelly and maybe some fresh berries.
