Berry Jelly Cheesecake

I have a long list of recipes that I want to try, but last week, I didn't have enough energy to do anything.

As there were a lot of cake, bread, and cookies I HAD to finish them before making something new. 

Finally, I can clear all the tasks (or eat them all, haha), and now I can go back to my kitchen. 

The first thing that I made was cheesecake!!!

Anyway, it's not a complicated recipe (and you don't need the oven too). Rare cheesecake that is set with gelatin is delicious and very easy to make. But only cheesecake can be too plain so I add red jelly and berries on top of it. It's cute and full of flavor at the same time.

For the cheesecake part, you can use powder or leaf gelatin, but for the jelly part, I suggest using the leaf one as I found that when using powder gelatin the jelly doesn't as clear as when I use the leaf kind.

If your berries are sweet you can use less sugar, but if they are sour adding more sugar is recommended.
