@Jeandp do you think I'd get off with using half the amount of jelly and cream cheese? xx

 

[Jeandp]

I would. Just halve everything, it will still be a decent size. It tastes lovely.

 

[Kaylz]

Would you recommend halving the base ingredients or would half the cheesecake mixture still cover the base? Suppose it also depends on the size of dish your using how thick the base is so might just leave the base as is xx

 

[Jeandp]

Yes, it would just make a thicker base in a smaller tin. I used a large springform tin, which helped to be able to get it out, as the base was quite thin. Good luck!

Go around your kitchen turning every knob. When you feel something getting warm, that's the oven.
