This is a great tasting cake but it didn't set. It was a bit too runny so I think adding an egg to the filling would help.

Easy to make. Ingredients need a good whisk. Serve with a raspberry coulis, and try adding a tiny bit of vanilla to the cream.

Love this recipe. It's so easy and the result is a really fresh tasting cheesecake. I sometimes use ginger biscuits for the base.

Such a quick and easy recipe - all my guests remarked on how tasty is was! I also made the base thicker. DELICIOUS!

Gorgeous, but I added 225g of digestive biscuits and 100g of butter as I felt the base was just too thin when I first made it.

This was very easy to make and tasted so delicious! Really zesty and citrusy, I am making it again today after it was such a hit last time.
