Recipe

• 1 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 2) mix crumbs with butter (ensure butter is soft for easy mix).
• 3 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 couln'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 4) mix gelatin with water & dissolve under slow fire. set aside to cool.
• 5 5) cut peaches into cubes & set aside. cut lemon into half & use a slicer to remove skin & grate it.
• 6 6) whisk cheese, vanilla essence, zest & lemon juice & blend in gelatine. add peaches & mix gently.
• 7 7) spoon cheese mixture onto tray. top up with remaining peaches & chill for about 2hrs.
• 8 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 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 10) cut & put individual pieces into cake holders. add gummies to decorate & serve chilled.
