My daughter goes to French school and she has just started her English classes. She seems to like it, but can not recall a lot of things she did there, not talking about the words she learnt, hum... Perhaps it will come, guess I just need to be patient. However, one thing she learnt was a song "Twinkle, twinkle, little star...". She was singing it with her cute, little accent, so adorable. So I made her this cold kind of cheesecake with a little jello star on top. She loved it! And I had a chance to listen to "Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." one more time :)

Ingredients

2-3 cookies
4-5 tablespoons of white cheese
3-4 tablespoons of jelly (you may need to adjust the quantity of jelly depending on the brand you have bought - refer to the preparation instruction on the package you have)

Did you know that "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" , a popular English lullaby, is based on the lyrics from early 19th-century English poem, "The Star" by Jane Taylor. It is sung to the tune of the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman", which was published in 1761 and later arranged by Mozart.

Preparation

Step1 Crush cookies into bowls, so they cover their bottom. Prepare the jelly following instructions on the package you bought. Use a bit less of water so the jelly is more firm.

Step2 Remove all the liquid from the cheese, if there are any. Mix the cheese in a mixer or use a blender, until it gets smooth and has a mousse texture. Pour around 1/3 of the jelly into a dish or mould. The jelly surface should be big enough to cut 4 stars. A dd the rest of the jelly to the cheese and stir. Refrigerate for about 1h or until set - follow the instructions on a jelly package you bought. To remove the jelly from the dish/mould, place it in a big bowl filled with warm water for few seconds. Turn the jelly dish/mould onto a plate. Shake quickly and sharply, the jelly should release.
