I thought this cheesecake was exquisite! So creamy and not at all heavy. I used blueberries and strawberries as I had some that needed to be used. I couldn't taste any cornflour residue in the cake at all... It came out of the tin and looked just like a bought one!! Just waiting for neighbour's review..
