Notes

This recipe is super easy and really, really quick to make. The only long part is the waiting for it to set! If you're expecting super hot weather, add a couple more teaspoons of gelatine ... or consider popping this in the freezer for a few hours before you serve to make it a Semi Freddo instead of cheesecake!

  • I can’t believe I finally found this recipe again. I want to make this again this year because it’s the best and tastiest one I’ve ever made.

  • I made two of these last year. The first one was a bit strong (my son told me 2 – 4 tablespoons of cinnamon) but it was very spicy. I looked at the recipe myself and saw the mistake and with the next one I wore my glasses (yes I need them) and made it with the right measurements and everyone loved it. I’m definitely making it again this year.
