420ml milk, divided
60ml cognac (or other brandy)
1 box (90g) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 graham cracker cheesecake crust (20cm)
300g fresh large plums, sliced and pitted
60ml currant jelly
2 tsp cognac
Method:
Add the cream cheese to a bowl and cream until soft then blend in 120m of the milk. Stir in the pudding mix then add the remaining milk and the 60ml cognac. Beat slowly until well mixed then pour into the crust. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
After this time arrange the plum slices attractively over the top. Meanwhile, heat the jelly and the cognac together until liquid. Pour over the peaches then place in the refrigerator and allow to chill for 2 hours before removing the springform pan, transferring to a chilled plate and serving.
