I really love making cheesecakes and whoever is a reader will have figured this one out by now. I’ve tried a snickers version, strawberry one, the classic (non bake) recipe, even in ice cream! The choices are limitless ! The one you see above was made for my mummy’s birthday back in May! Oh yes my mum is typical Taurus and she adores all sweets as soon as they are white and not made of chocolate (ok I really makes me wonder that one!) The meringues on top makes all the difference in this recipe! My advise is to place the meringues on top just before serving to keep them crispy and fresh!
Happy Bday sweet mummy I wish you prosperity and many moments of joy with your granddaughter !
