Mix the lemon jelly with 1 cup of hot water until dissolved. Leave to cool. Whip the cream until stiff peaks in a mixing bowl, add the cottage and the cooled jelly. Pour over the base and leave to set in the refrigerator until completely firm, approximately 2 - 3 hours.
Mix your colour of choice jelly, I used raspberry, with 1 cup of warm water. Mix until dissolved. Leave to cool completely before carefully pour the jelly over the cheesecake. Return to the refrigerator until the jelly has set completely. Cut into slices and enjoy (Cape Malay Cooking)
