Cute Checked Cheese Hearts

1. 1

   Place 2 slices of sliced cheese on top of each other, then do the same for the sliced cheddar cheese.

2. 2

   Cut away the edges (you won't use them).

3. 3

   Cut the cheese into strips of the same width.

4. 4

   The strips must be the same width so cut away any excess when you reach the end.

5. 5

   Line the strips up in the order of cheddar, plain, cheddar, plain, cheddar to create one layer.

6. 6

   For the second layer, start from the plain strips and build the layer in the same way.

7. 7

   Repeat Step 3 until you have 5 or 6 layers, and press the layers into place from the top and sides.

8. 8

   Wrap the cheese in parchment paper and secure firmly in place with masking tape (so that no air can get in).

9. 9

   Leave the block of cheese to sit in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

10. 10

    Cut the block into 1 cm thick slices, and cut out a heart, or whatever shape you like, with a cutter.

11. 11

    If the cheese is hard to remove from the cutter, prepare the cutter beforehand by using it to slice through a thick piece of fish sausage.
