Peach Jelly with Cream Cheese

Name: Peach Jelly with Cream Cheese
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 large can of peaches, separate the syrup and the peaches; Syrup from the peach can + water until it reaches 500 ml; 2 sachets (@ 15 gr) of konnyaku powder (you can use agar-agar if you wish, or gelatin.

In my kitchen!

I have some cream cheese at home. I wanted to make some cheesecake at first, but in this weather (my city is getting pretty hot these days) I think we would prefer something lighter. You can increase or decrease the sugar according to your preference. This recipe yields 9 or 12 pieces of jelly, depending on how big you want to cut it.
