    Very tasty. My topping was liquid when added to the base (no need to smooth over as the recipe said!) but firmed overnight in the fridge. Used Morrison's soft cheese but would try Philadelphia next time to see if that helps. Found it difficult to get the cheesecake off the base of the tin so presentation was not as good as it might have been. Was quite gingery but went well with the rhubarb (which I had to give an extra 5 mins and an extra tbsp of sugar).Family were impressed by what is an easy recipe.

    jzl - I used morrisons soft cheese and it worked fine. To ensure I could get the base off I lined the base with a circle of greaseproof paper, this worked very well. All my work colleagues loved it!!
