- Drop dollops all over th top of the cheesecake and with a toothpick run it through the jam and the cheesecake mix to create the marble effect! Use as much or as little of the jam until you're happy with the look!.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the sides pull away from the pan and the centre is still a bit not set. If it starts to crack you're over baking it!.
