Jelly cheesecake slice

125g Morning Coffee biscuits, processed to fine crumbs
80g butter, melted, cooled
375g cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
200ml cream
2 tablespoons boiling water
2 teaspoons powdered gelatine
85g packet jelly crystals

Line base and sides of a 3.5cm deep, 16cm x 26cm (base) slab pan with baking paper. Combine biscuit crumbs and butter. Press into base of lined pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.

Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in cream. Place water into a small bowl. Sprinkle over gelatine. Stir until gelatine dissolves. Set aside to cool slightly (see p21). Beat gelatine into filling until combined.

Pour filling over base. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until set.

Meanwhile, make jelly, following packet directions. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Pour into a shallow dish. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until jelly starts to thicken (like consistency of thickened cream). Pour jelly over cheesecake. Refrigerate for a further 3 hours or until jelly is set. Cut into squares to serve.
