My Favourite Cheesecake Recipe

I promised to give you the cheesecake recipe I use with the Cornflake Pie Crust and here it is.

CAUTION: this is so good I have to either invite lots of people over to share or freeze it right away to keep from eating the whole thing at one go. Well, that might be a slight exaggeration but it's not far from the truth.

Thank goodness it is a pretty healthy dessert, especially with the light cream cheese.

To keep temptation at bay I usually cut the cheesecake into nine generous portions and freeze each one individually. By freezing it I can keep it down to only one piece per day, every day, until it's all gone! I mentioned that I have a sweet tooth, didn't I?

Comments
Serve with favourite topping. I especially like cherry pie fill. Not only is it delicious, it's a fruit serving, for those aiming for a well balanced diet.

Aww thanks mate, this is perfect. I've been looking for a recipe without specialist ingrediants for ages for my diabetic, gluten intolerant friend. I never realised cooking the pudding for a christmas meal could be so awkward:S

thanks again

Where have you and your site been? Am rushing out to pick up groceries in order to experiment. Haven't had cheese cake in five years! I do find things like the gluten-free corn flakes are expensive in the UK vs quantity but even a taste would be wonderful. Now if I could find your bread recipe -- I've lived on buckwheat pancakes and crepes for the last four years. Gets rather stale. Thank you so very much for the recipes and suggestions!
