Paul’s Unexpected Blind Date – Jelly Cheesecake
Hi Folks,
Sorry it has been a while but I have been rather
busy, with my Christmas book and two new releases coming out soon. Zoe
North and I’m your Man.
Finally found time to chat with Paul for another
one of his deliciously naughty cakes.
Have to say I love this one, sweet and
sour, a bit like me!
Good to be back with you all again.

Paul’s Unexpected Blind Date – Jelly Cheesecake
When Jo asked me to come up with a recipe to go
alongside her book, Unexpected Blind Date, we had to decide on whether or not
to include chocolate a la rocky road. But, I thought no, instead, I’m going to
give you the recipe for one of my favourite cheesecakes. There’s no chocolate
involved but don’t worry it’s not a healthy alternative, and just means that if
the date went really badly you can have a HUGE slice of this, and then dive
into the MEGA size chocolate bar, before heading for the vodka that you keep
hidden behind the frozen peas for the last few months.
This is a set jelly cake, as opposed to a baked
cake. It’s easy to put together, I got this recipe from my sister in laws uncle
in South Africa and adapted it slightly.
It’s a versatile recipe, so you can make mini versions for individual
portions, or one large cake. You can
change the jelly flavours to your liking (the best is lemon but
experiment)…..either way it’s an amazing dessert.
p.s make it the day before you go on your blind
date, just to make sure it sets in time.
