Has anyone ever tried to recreate this yummy cheesecake at home?! I would love to know the recipe if anyone has succeeded.....wink

Nope, but Tesco and Sainsbury both do an equally yummy version.smile?

Both Tesco and Sainsbury versions are really horrible.. Find a decent independent deli for something tastier and more original... They may even give you the recipe ?

M & S is good but the Waitrose one is my guilty pleasure

I hate cheesecake...smile

grin shows how different we all are.

I sometimes make cheesecake but it always turns out flat.
I think if you want a New York type you need to have a high-sided tin, or a normal cake tin with sides built up with baking parchment. And a very large amount of filling.
There are lots of recipes online.

Never mind the cheesecake, try Waitress Sicilia lemon tart! It's absolutely delicious ?

Lona Wed 12-Apr-17 22:18:54

Waitrose!!!

Agreed, Lona. Don't make the mistake I made when catering for just two of us, though - Waitrose Smooth & Tangy Lemon Tart 300g is a massive disappointment. It has to be the Sicilian one (530g).

Ooh, lots of replies, thank you so much! I am doing Attempt 1 for lunch today - I looked at the ingredients list on the Waitrose website, and the closest recipe I had was Lorraine Pascale's Doorstep cheesecake, so I will report back!

Hmmmm, too creamy & mousse-like - far too squishy. Think I need to put more cream cheese and less cream in wink

Nigella has a good recipe for New York cheesecake - might be making it this weekend!

I have made a New York cheesecake but it was so long ago I've forgotten which recipe I used, sorry. It was very nice though!

Waitrose or M&S Sicilian lemon tart, Waitrose apricot tart, all lovely and just sitting on the shelf waiting for those who cbb to bake these days smile

Jalima1108 Thu 13-Apr-17 17:19:15

A Waitress to serve it all would be nice too Lona

Jalima1108 Thu 13-Apr-17 17:20:35

It shouldn't be mousse-like, it is more like a dense cake texture. Or so I thought.

I don't like cooked cheesecakes, much prefer the chilled versions.

Try Mary Berry for a baked cheesecake recipe.

Best cheesecake ever is :-
1 1/2 tubs soft cream cheese
1/4 or double cream
Large pkt of white choc buttons
1 tin mango slices ( drained then liquidised)
3/4 pack oatie biscuits
1 1/2 oz melted butter
Crush biscuits. Add butter and press into deep cake tin .refrigerate.
Drain and liquidise mango slices
Beat cream ad cream cheese and melted chocolate ( give a good beat)
Stir in half of mango
Pour over biscuit crumb and refrigerate .after about 1/2 hour pour rest of mango over the top .Leave to set .
Yummy

Get thee behind me!! grin
La la la la (not reading the recipe...white chocolate...)

Jalima1108 Fri 14-Apr-17 10:15:46

Yummy, apart from the chocolate - especially white!! grin

I prefer the set cheesecakes but I could eat a New York cheesecake if offered wink
It just needs some soft fruit or a good helping of coulis to offset the denseness. And cream

Oh Crishappy- that sounds wonderful!
I was going to do white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry topping for Sunday & also a sticky toffee pudding but I will be doing yours now. Can't wait to try it!!

HootyMcOwlface Fri 14-Apr-17 11:56:49

Did you say white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry topping - yyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuummmmmmm Do that!

Lupatria Fri 14-Apr-17 12:24:52

i don't think you can beat james martin for a cheesecake of any description. you can find his recipes online on the bbc website or, if like me, you've collected all his recipe books, you've got them on your bookshelves.

I made a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake last night as an Easter treat for DH and we have just sampled a piece. It is delicious and looks very professional according to himself. I got the recipe from Mary Berry's recent TV series(you can google the recipe) and I will definitely make it again. Yum.
