  I did this for a dinner party dessert it looked and tasted so perfect they did not believe me when I said I had made it. Instead of using the chocolates I have uses bite sized pieces of chocolate flake for decoration.

  I've made this about 5 times now and everytime it's a winner. First time I made it I made the mistake of not putting enough philli in (got the pack sizes wrong) and it came out beautiful. A little softer than if you were to use the right amount, but I personally preferred it like that. So even if you go wrong this recipe still turns out a winner! Everyone who comes to dinner always hopes it's Tia Maria Cheesecake on the menu :)

  A big hit with everyone. It just fitted my 23 cm springform and took a little longer to defrost because of that, but otherwise brilliant. Will definitely be making this one again!

  I made this with Kaluha instead of Tia Maria and froze it after step 3. As it was for Christmas Eve I applied the cream topping and then made a snowflake pattern on top of that using sieved cocoa powder and a stencil from lakeland.co.uk. Everybody loved it!! Also tasted just as good cold or zapped in the microwave to warm it up.

  27 Février 2008 I would love to try this recipe but am not sure what to use in place of Philadelphi cream cheese. Living in France I have never seen this. Can any of you advise me. Thank you for the super recipes, they have really changed my daily menus.

  Excellent - with the stated amount of Tia Maria, we couldn't taste it at all, which was ok, as the children loved it - I would describe as a vanilla and chocolate cheesecake. So add more Tia Maria if you want to taste it.

  Really easy to make and pretty impressive although I would only make this again for a party or xmas as it was too sweet for us and it also lasted for 5 days it was that big.

  Can anyone tell me how to make a topping with sour cream without having it running down the cake. Had a try with the sour cream, put it in the freezer to chill, then took it and left it to defrost. Was very runny!!! Thank you.
