Lovely cheesecake. Straightforward recipe. I made the filling with my blender which was very quick. I served it with a tsp of raspberry jam on the side. Gorgeous.

Absolutely, loved this, I added a third more of the ingredients for a thicker filling and left off the brown sugar, as the biscuit base is sweet enough for us. Total winner, would definitely make again. So much better than shop bought ones.

Very pleasant. Suggest double the amount of biscuits for a firmer, thicker base and definitely not more than two lemons. Will try this again.
