             out. Press down to level the surface with the back
             of a spoon. Chill in the fridge.
             2 Put the gelatine into a small bowl of cold water.
             Leave to soak for 5 minutes. Drain the water, then
             place the bowl into a pan of just boiled water and
             stir until melted. Set aside.
             3 Whisk the cream cheese and yoghurt together
             in a bowl. Add the runny gelatine and mix until

             extract. Spoon into the tin and level. Chill for 2
             hours, until set. Decorate with the mixed berries.
