I have made Jo Seagar's gorgeous baked cheesecake for shared bbq tea tonight; haven't made one before but do I serve it at room temperature or straight from fridge? Thanks, Suze

I agree, room temp will be better as the flavours will be easier to taste. I'd buy some lovely fresh berries to serve it with.

Heres the one I use, its really easy and yummy.
200g sweet shortcrust pastry 500g cream cheese, at room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 cup sour cream 2 tsp vanilla extract 4 large eggs ¼ cup cream, lightly whipped
1. Heat oven to 180°C. Grease a 22cm springform cake tin. Roll out pastry to 4mm thick and use to line base of tin. Prick pastry all over, then chill well. Bake for 10 minutes, remove to cool. Reduce oven heat to 150°C.
2. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add sour cream and vanilla and beat gently to combine. Gently beat in eggs one at a time (be careful not to over-mix at this stage).
3. Pour the cheesecake mixture over pastry base. Bake for one hour and 15 minutes or until filling is just set. Cool in the tin before carefully removing.
4. Spread whipped cream over the surface of the cake to decorate. Slice to serve. Serves 12 to 16.

cheesecake should have a base made out of cruched digestive biscuits. . not pastry. . just crush up 2 packs of digestive bikkies. . mix with melted butter. . then flatten down...
now thats a cheesecake base.

Has this one of Joe Seagers not got a base?

joybells2, according to the above recipe that I posted from one of Jo's books, it does NOT have a base - not all baked cheesecakes do apparently and I recall a chef baking one on TV, then adding the base as a topping prior to inverting the cheesecake so that it appeared to have had the filling placed on top of the base when in actually fact the base was 'an add-on". I haven't made Joe's cheesecake but I guess that for anyone who feels that this cheesecake really needs a base, that TV chef's method could be an alternative. :-))
