Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes until firm
TO PREPARE THE TOPPING
Whisk the cheesecake mix into 235ml of milk with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until thick and creamy. This will take longer if using a hand whisk.

Chill in the fridge for 45 minutes to allow to set.

FEELING FRUITY?
Why not add some chopped strawberries and a sprig of fresh mint to serve? You could also try tinned fruit, but remember to strain away the juice first.
