Sticky Date Cheesecake with Butterscotch Sauce
I LOVE cheesecake and I love taking any opportunity to create new variations. Those that know me know I don't tend to cook a lot of baked cheesecakes. I'm not sure why, especially given how easy they are to make - just like this one! This cheesecake was a massive hit at my boy's school when I took one in for morning tea recently. I am sure it will impress your guests just as much! - Peta
