I remember fondly my favourite baked american style cheesecake from Sainsbury's. I haven't been able to find anything like that since.

From the picture, this recipe looks pretty similar. SO it is on my to do list.I was browsing the magazine on my night shift and found this recipe. It was aaaagessssss ago, can't remember the name of the mag.

200g sweet shortcrust pastry
500g cream cheese (room temp)
