    question

    when do you add the mint? do you soak it with the rum and strain it after?

    Well I've just made this cheesecake and I'm very excited to taste it. However I'm a bit worried about it setting!! Please reassure me that it will set or do I need to give my guests a spoon and we all tuck in?!
