Instructions

1. Remove the seeds from the chillies and finely chop them.
2. Stir in the chopped chillies with the melted cheese.
3. Line the bottom and sides of a plastic box with cling film and transfer the liquid cheese mixture into it, smooth the top. Chill it in the refrigerator for 3 hours to form a cheese block.
