I've made this twice now, the first time it made me two large cheese cakes and the second time I made a large one and two medium. I've had to amend the recipe slightly not that there was anything wrong with it, just that it made a very soft mousse cake which was difficult to handle.
The second time I put less butter in the base so it was crisper and melted the gelatine into the heated strawberry mixture forgoing the additional 100mls of water. The flavour is still all there, the cakes are less soft so I could get them into the fridge to set
