I made this for the first time last week. It was the most scrumptious thing ever - far and away the best home-made cheesecake recipe I've tried, including Nigel Slater's baked one, which is pretty smooth and yummy too but doesn't surpass this.

The only problem is - I'm addicted Made another yesterday and it's already half gone!

Thanks so much for the recipe, though I may have to come back and insult you if I put on a stone before Xmas

I made it, I ate it, I LOVED it, I felt sick afterwards, waited til i was ok again, I ate more, I loved it, I ate it, I loved it.....

You can see where this is going...

Thanks dizzy x

Tried this recipe with the hobknob base and with digestive base and just want to say that i much prefered the latter

thanks guys, I've 3 to make for over christmas - never fails to impress

meltedchocolate - the digestive base is a touch too sweet for me with this one but I use chocolate digestive base for my chocolate bannoffee so I can't claim that I don't have a sweet tooth

ApplesinmyPocket - insult away, it hasn't done me any favours either

Getting on thread so I can join in.

all welcome Fab

just to let you all know guys you can tart this up for christmas dinner with redcurrants/raspberries/blackcurrants/strawberries on top with icing sugar dusted over the top - VERY simple but effective

guys just to let you know Tesco is doing white cooking chocolate 150g bars for 97p now - they work brilliantly in this (you need 2) I made it last night and it went down a treat as usual

dizzy when I make it I use Tesco own brand of white choc 1.09 for 200g,
works perfect yummy as usual,
although found a recipe for a baked white chocolate cheesecake it was yummy too, and I'm torn between the two now!

PlumBum I understand why you would be torn but one of the things I love about it is thats for something so impressive and universally loved its sooooooooooooo easy!!!

Yeap and actually it uses less chocolate & cheese than the baked one,
it really is yummy, now I'm sorry I have bought ingredients to make a Baileys one, and I bet my family will be disappointed as I have now become the full time "no its ok Plumbum will do white choc cheesecake" for any family occassion
oh why do I do this to myself, although I always keep plenty of the Tesco choc in, you should try it, great value and yummy

its the same one I use but for us its only 97p

This one ??? I hate the way tesco do that
The one in the very centre of Belfast everything is usually 20p dearer than my local store

no its a tesco finest one I can get
