    I thought this was good. not the best cheesecake recipe, but certainly a good one. will make again and experiment. we had to dramatically adjust the crust ingredients. As this is written, far too much butter and not nearly enough shortbread. (We almost doubled the shortbread fingers and used the same butter.) And the family believes that the next time we make this, we need to put far more toffee and chocolate in the bottom!

    Very tasty cheesecake! Only problem was the consistency of the middle of cheesecake - it was really sloppy. After cooling, when I removed the springform cake tin, the cake began to collapse. I had to quickly put the tin back around the cheesecake and refridgerate it in the tin. I've made several other cheesecakes before and never had this problem, where the cheesecake is not firm when taken out of the oven. I will try this again and cook it for a much longer time in oven. I will then cool it down and chill in the tin to ensure the cheesecake doesn't collapse again!

    I made this for dessert at Christmas and it was absolutley gorgeous. I ended up using more shortbread fingers than was stated on the recipe to give it a thicker base. Found I had quite a bit of cheesecake mixture left also, so whipped up another smaller one aswell. Cheesecake tastes even better the next day! Definately the best cheesecake I have ever had, can honestly say it is much better than ones I have eaten in restaurants.

    Found this really easy to make and was amazing!! Have to say would use fudge next tme instead of toffee sweets and nearly broke a tooth after it had been in the fridge for a while. Definitely a favourite in my household!!!! :)

    Made this for my sister's 50th birthday buffet table & it was fab. Looked as good as the picture & everybody wanted seconds, needless to say there wasn't any leftovers. Very easy to make but not for people who are watching their weight. Next time will leave out the chopped caramels in the bottom as they set quite hard.

    The most amazing cheesecake I have ever tasted!! I left out the hard toffees though but it was still delicious. I am a cheesecake queen and have made quite a few but this is my new favourite. It seems using sour cream instead of double cream makes a real difference. This is now my signature pud!!!

    Have made this twice and both times its turned out brilliantly. I have a 26cm tin so I had to double the amount of biscuits and butter for the base. The compliments I got for making this have been ridiculous. This is definitely something to whip up when you're trying to impress. It doesn't take long to make and looks like you've made a huge effort. I used carnation caramel (handy they make that now) and used the whole tin. Also, I spread the caramel on about 5 mins after the cheesecake came out of the oven as its easier when there's a bit of heat.

    This recipe was disasterous. I followed the instructions exactly. The cake rose 300% into a big fluffly, eggy sponge. Not a cheesecake. I can only suggest that it shouldn't contain flour and eggs

    Brilliantly easy recipe but makes an enormous cheesecake. I tweaked it slightly by using 400g full fat cheese and 200g lite cream cheese, I also used creme fraiche instead of soured cream and the cheesecake came out very well. A few calories saved - every little helps. I put chocolate eclair toffees on the base and made a fudge for the topping too - a little variation on the theme. Quick easy and totally yummy!

    Wow, wow and MORE WOW! Made this lastnight and it turned out PERFECTLY. Made mine in a much larger springform tin (23cm), doubled up ingredients for the base and increased everything else by one third. Cooked for 2 hours, still slightly wobbly, as it should be, and then left on the worktop for 2 hours until almost cooled before putting in the fridge to cool (overnight) for 12 hours. Getting it out of the tin was a dream, and then spread a whole tin of Carnation Caramel on top and finally decorated it with plenty of White Chocolate curls and a delicate dusting of cocoa. Using this size tin would easily serve 16 GENEROUS size portions for dinner guests or a party. The whole family absolutely adored it and asked when I would be making another. What wonderful compliments! And this to a man aged 49 who has only just got into baking. Believe me, if I can make this successfully, first time, ANYONE can. Go on, have a go!

    I've made this twice now and I found putting Daim bar on top of the biscuit base was just as good as the toffee. Even put munchies on the top as a extra treat....making this again tomorrow for a dinner party, cant wait!

    This is brilliant cheesecake. I ended up having to use a bigger springform tin as I had nothing smaller, so had to do a couple of changes and had to cook it for ages. but it turned out fine and had a lovely home cooked crack down the middle of it... I was really nervous to take it to a bbq that I had made it for because of the changes in timings and ingredients I had to make( I was worried it wasn't cooked properly) but the cheesecake was gone in 5 minutes and I was told I have to bring a cake to every 'do' now. I LOVE THIS CHEESECAKE!!!

    I've made this lots now and it's always a favourite. Do make sure that the oven isn't too hot though, I made it once and must have forgotten to turn the temp down to 120 and the consistancy was all wrong. My mistake though, the recipe is perfect!
