Hi was just looking at your recipe for Kahlua cheesecake and am really surprised at the amount of gelatine used is this correct or a mistake. thanks

Hi Joanna, I have just clarified that it is a small packet – so 3 teaspoons.
Does this freeze well??
Delicious, rather rich though, so small portions recommended!
Some changes I made include using less than the recommended 1T of cinnamon in the crust, I ended up using 2 teaspoons and it’s more than enough.
Also used 3 teaspoons of gelatine as the one packet referred to here is the ones in individual sachets not the big packets available for sale at the moment.
Worked well with some fresh raspberries on top.
complete disaster! the gelatin went all wrong and i don’t know how i went wrong or how to fix it
so i put the mixture in the food processor and heated it slightly and it was looking much better… hope it turns out
Omgosh—these recipes are so simple and easy to follow and never ever thought to put alcohol into a cheesecake. Helen just takes the taboo out of the cooking and for the amateur when all made up to serve its “boo”look what I made…Aaamazing,best watchout the Oz’s will claim it as their own..lol.Yes I live in Sydney and miss the freshness of our food back home,we all do.
