Recipe Review - White Choc Cheesecake pge 132 For Food's Sake

[Soph77]

The one I used is the normal regular spring form cake size. It fits in the varoma just and kind of balances in. I didn't use the chopsticks because there is more of a gap than that underneath. I made this again on Tuesday for bookclub. Seriously this is so easy and again I managed to easily make it whilst playing play dough and puzzles with my 3 year old. A definite winner. And yes from all accounts delicious. Post marathons I'll try it for myself!

Soph, can you measure your tin please?

I tried with one of mine, and it sounds the same size as yours, balances in the varoma lol

[LeeJ]

Can anyone give me a timeframe for how long this takes to set in the fridge?

[LeeJ]

Worked easily, I use a standard sized spring form tin, and it worked fine.

It was nice, I think I'll use my continental cheesecake recipe still though.

OK, taking back my previous comment haha

After letting it set overnight in the fridge, it is a beautiful cheesecake texture.

My main change, is adding a raspberry coulis to the top, in lieu of the chocolate topping, I wasn't really a fan.

I am tad cranky about this recipe.
I went out of my way to source a 16cm springform pan bought all the ingredients and have followed the instructions.
Well there is so much biscuit base and filling there is no way this recipe is for a 16cm pan.  It makes two 16cm pans atleast.
I wish i had just made the recipe up and used a normal springform base and baked it.
The one steaming is overflowing over the edges of the tin, and the one in the oven is fine.

Im sure the texture of the steamed cake will be lovely, im just cranky at the expense of buying a cake tin especially for this recipe (for my husbands birthday cake) then the recipe not stating use two tins, halve the ingredients etc?

Has anyone else used the 16cm tin, what were your results?  Am I missing something obvious in the instructions, the only thing I can think of, is that my cake tin is too short and perhaps its meant to be a tall sided springform 16cm tin?
