  I thought this looked lovely. When making it I tasted the cheese mixture - um lovely with the lemon and vanilla seeds. But some how the chocolate didn't add to it and it didn't quite get the wow factor I expected. Maybe chocolate cheesecakes don't work. I may try it again but put fruit in the layers instead.

  This is one of the best cheesecakes I have made. All the family love it - light but yummy. Made at Christmas last year and also for a recent family buffet.

  I did this for a special occasion and I thought it was lovely - mixed reviews though. I think you have to be a lover of cheesecake to get it.

  The taste i fantastic! I used a 24 cm wide spring-form and next time I'll will double the biscuit base as I thought it was a bit thin. It freezes well and needs approx 15-20 min to defrost. Next time I will do it in individual disposable plastic cups to serve on a summer buffet. Thanks Gordon!

  After the comments here I used only 50ml lemon juice but will try a wee bit more next time. The chocolate/cream mix went too thick (I suspect that I got it too hot) and I found it difficult to 'swirl' it so the top looked a bit messy and there was far too much filling for my 20 cm tin. I'll definitely make this again but will use more biscuit base and make 2 smaller cheesecakes (one to use and one to freeze). We thought that the recipe made enough for 12 to 16 portions.

  I made this and it went down a treat. Doubled the bisuit base for an extra kick. Very easy to make. Will make it again for Christmas!

  i made this cheesecake and it tasted good maybe not as nice as it looks though. It took a long time to set as in about 24 hours to completely set. I made de receipe correct and my fridge was on the correct setting :(

  made this today for dinner party tomorrow looks very impressive and finger taste proved positive however there is far too much filling and not enough base in future will add by 1/2 to base and 1/2 the filling. simple recipe to follow though

  This was the first time i had ever made a cheesecake. It was lovely but i thought the biscuit base was too little so after reading other reviews i would def double it in future. Also certainly served more than 8 as very rich. Very good and everyone loved it.
