Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great cheesecake Made this recipe, stuck to all measurements and ingredients, set it overnight to be sure, the cake tasted beautiful however one thing is when cutting was quite hard as it didn't full set like a cheesecake should, so fell apart abit but no one complained so not really a biggie. Might just add some gelatin next time. Also quite sweet!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Cheesecake This recipe is so super easy and quick to make with no fuss. I double up the quantity to make an extra deep and delicious cheesecake. Even the biscuit crumb I double up and this really helps when it comes to slicing and serving - it really keeps the slices solid and together. I also use 3/4 shortcake biscuits and1/4 digestive because I prefer this combination. But overall I love this recipe. I do have a question for Carnation though - could I use Light Condensed Milk and Philadelphia Light in this recipe for a healthier version? Would this affect how it sets?

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Tasted nice but I think I needed to set more. How long do other people whisk it for? I dad 3 - 5 mins with a hand mixer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to make! This is so easy to make and has always turned out brilliant. Just be aware that it takes quite a bit of time to thicken. I whisk mine for up yo 30 mins
