1 packet of orange, 1 packet of passionfruit and vanilla ice cream and most people will think it is a cheesecake.

This recipe looks so difficult but is so simple. Great for partys, particularly for kids. When I make this in summer it sits in the fridge and the kids just eat away at it over a few days. Its very tasty with a great look and texture.

My grand mother showed me this recipe when I was staying at her house as a 6 year old. I remember she swore me to secrecy at how it was done and she always made out it was a lot more difficult than it really was. Bad Granny!
