This is my attempt at Nigella Lawson's "Old Fashioned Cheesecake" recipe. It's a tad fiddly if you ask me as you have to pre-bake a biscuit base then whip cream and egg whites to mix into the cream cheese. I guess that is what you'd do in days before powdered gelatine. I also found the quantities for the biscuit base were insufficient to properly cover the baking pan she specified. I might stick to Mum's cheesecake recipe which calls for crushed Scotch finger biscuits and powdered jelly mix.
The finished cake is quite nice, but not quite sweet nor lemony enough for my taste. The cheesecake has a lovely soft marshmallowy texture and the biscuit base is soft and chewy which is quite nice.
