u can get it at asian shops
or just make separate dessert for the vegetarian. eg strawberries dipped in choc. Also, the vegetarian may not want to eat dessert anyway...why punish the rest of the guests?

there is no punishment by using agar agar. Its available in super markets.

This is an excellent suggestion. Agar agar is a different product to gelatine and requires a different process. From memory it needs to be heated and it sets during the heating process. I could be confusing it with something else but if my memory is correct then this means that the cheesecake may not come out as well as you would expect.
