Ingredients




1 Ingredients for tray:
(Base)
200 grams McVities digestive biscuits
100 grams Butter
(Filling)
2 grams blocks of Cream cheese (about 250 each)
2 pieces of Peach halves
1/2 Lemon
1/2 Lemon zest (grated)
1 tablespoon Gelatin powder
50 milliliters Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
1 box Jelly crystal (Lemon)
200 milliliters hot water
200 milliliters cold water
(Toppings)
3 pieces of Peach halves
Gummies for decoration

Preparation

1 I chose to use McVities Digestive Biscuits because they're the most popular band of cookies in the UK. For a non-messy job, put biscuits into a Zipblock or any plastic holder. Seal it & pound biscuits into crumbs using eg. a rolling pin. 2 Mix crumbs with butter (ensure butter is soft for easy mix). 3 I’ve experimented with lining 2 trays with different material for easy removal. One with foil & another, with greaseproof paper. The verdict: It’s so much easier to lift with foil as the latter couldn’t take the weight & also stick to the cake. After lining the tray, transfer the crumbs mixture onto a 12” rectangular tray & press firmly using the base of a spoon. Refrigerate for about an hour. 4 Mix gelatin with water & dissolve under slow fire. Set aside to cool. 5 Cut peaches into cubes & set aside. Cut lemon into half & use a slicer to remove skin & grate it. 6 Whisk cheese, vanilla essence, zest & lemon juice & blend in gelatine. Add peaches & mix gently. 7 Spoon cheese mixture onto tray. Top up with remaining peaches & chill for about 2hrs. 8 Dissolve jelly crystal in hot water, then add cold water. Ensure jelly is cool before pouring onto cheese mixture. Continue to refrigerate for another 3hrs. 9 Using a spatula, gently loosen the cake at the sides. Remove from tray by lifting the foil & you'll get your nice cake. 10 Cut & put individual pieces into cake holders. Add gummies to decorate & serve chilled.
