Method
  1. In a pan, measure the McDougalls No Added Sugar Orange Jelly and mix with the boiling water until the jelly crystals have dissolved.
  2. Combine the vanilla vodka, passionfruit syrup and lime juice in a jug with ice. Stir well for about 20-30 secs, then strain.
  3. Pour the cocktail mix into the jelly mix, stir well before dividing the mix between 10 martini glasses, and place the glasses in the fridge to set.
  4. Prepare the passion fruit custard by mixing the cold Bird’s Ready to Use Custard with the passion fruit purée and set aside.
  5. To prepare the vanilla cream cheese, add the Bird’s Cheesecake Mix and milk to a mixing bowl along with the vanilla seeds.
  6. Using a mixer (with whisk attachment) or a handheld electric whisk, beat the cheesecake mix until smooth.
  7. Pour in the double cream and continue to whisk until soft peaks and then transfer the mix to a piping bag and refrigerate until required.
  8. Once the jelly has set, layer with equal amounts of passion fruit custard and top with equal amounts of vanilla cream cheese.
  9. Garnish with crushed meringue, half a fresh passion fruit and sprigs of mint.
