  1. I absolutely loved this recipe, then the website it was on discontinued and I was devastated 😩 I’m so glad that someone managed to repost it somewhere because it’s literally the best cheese cake recipe ever! You can substitute the vanilla for some fresh lemon juice too or I guess other ingredients, you’d have to experiment. But you won’t be sorry. Just remember to whip the double cream before you add it, lol, otherwise you end up with soup! ☺️

    1. Just to add that we tried making this as a chocolate one. So left out the vanilla and icing sugar and added Nutella to taste. Have had the thumbs up from the girls, lol so it must be good 😌
