Tastes really good without being overly rich. Used extra light cream cheese but had to use thicken cream (double cream) as I didn't have whipping cream. I got 5 serves out of the mix (only needed 4 - now there's fight on as to who gets the one that is left). The only suggestion I would make is to use 1/2 cup of boiling water as I found it difficult to dissolve the gelatine properly. Also the DH suggested using a good quality drinking chocolate in place of the coffee for a change. Thank you Jon Chef Blizardry, made for Community Cafe Game.
