Cook: Ribena Marble Cheesecake

Ribena Cheesecake!

I have some leftover ribena in the fridge and found this easy to make ribena cheesecake. The colour is pretty with the twirls in it so decided to give it a try.

Hubby says it taste good, but the texture is a bit jelly-ish. If i were to re-attempt it again, i should reduce the amount of gelatine.

Recipe is from this blog:

Nevertheless, it is a nice and refreshing cake...

3. Set aside in the fridge for 2 hours for the base to set.
