" Great recipe! My first baked cheesecake & I've made it about 8 times since I first made it in the summer! I find that the flavour benefits from the addition of a scraped vanilla pod as well as the vanilla extract & I also add a few more biscuits to the base. Adding a few spoons of leftover sour cream (i buy the larger carton) to the top for the last 5mins of cooking adds a really lovely creamy layer to the cake too. A firm favourite! "

" From someone who is not keen on the often heavy traditional Christmas cake, this was a welcome alternative. Fantastic light mixture with a lovely flavour. I gave these as presents to fellow foodie friends, wrapped in cellophane & ribbons, and think I may have started a well-received tradition! "
