I made this with a nut crust b/c I'm low carbing. The taste was good but I have to measure it against cheesecakes made with all cream cheese and find this not quite the same. Also the cornstarch left me with a slightly dry taste on my tongue. All in all it was good, but I really prefer the all cream cheese version. Lee

Hi, I'm 31 and cooking and living in England. I was born in Germany and that's where I grew up and lived until I came to the UK to go to University in 1998.
I never went back to live in Germany, even though all my family is still there.
