Spot the missing ingredient and WIN with Hirsch’s [closed]

HIRSCH’s is giving away a copy of HIS & HIRSCH’S cookbook by Richard and Simone Hirsch every week for three weeks. In this week’s Highway Mail, we asked you to identify the missing ingredient in this recipe (and we’ve made it very easy to spot it).

JAM – JAR CHEESECAKE PUDDINGS

This is not a “cheesecake” as such, but the flavours are reminiscent. It is a super speedy take on a cheesecake pudding.These puddings can be served in ramekins, however you could easily use a parfait glass or some cute old jam jars. This is one of those “throw together” puddings that does not need to be perfect, but tastes decadent.
