Thanks. I wasn't going crazy after all. When you put cheesecakes into the google search engine you only get the usual cheesecakes.

They were just called cheesecakes when I was a child growing up in the UK and were topped with white glace icing and coconut threads.I think originally the cake mixture may have used cheese curds which would be how they got the name.

My mother used to make these in the 1950s and 60s.I always wondered why they were called cheesecakes when there was no cheese in them - just pastry bases filled with vanilla sponge.Very yummy!

My mum made these all the time when I was a child and we loved them. Especially nice with damson jam in the middle.
