I have never made a cheese cake before and this was the easiest. I was servicing it up to some pretty tough critics but it passed with flying colours. Possibly a little involved but not difficult. Very light and creamy I loved it. Was not sickly at all.

Hubby and I made this together. First cheesecake we've ever made and as I'm still a 'learner' cook I found it a bit of a challenge but the end result was so worth it! Very yummy. Photos coming soon.

I've made this recipe plenty of times before and is my most requested recipe ever!! My Father requests it every year for his birthday. I agree with Dan Lee that it does need a little more biscuit in the base. A real keeper!!!
