    This was my first cheesecake attempt. The crust was easy and worked very well. Cheesecake itself seemed to take a little longer to bake, but that might have been my oven. Final result seemed to be loved by everyone, though I can't say for myself because it was all gone before I got to it! :

    I followed the recipe to a tee, but the result was horrible. I couldnt even finish my piece. And to be honest it only deserves a half star.

    This was the first time ever making cheesecake of any kind and it came out perfectly! What a great recipe! I used dark chocolate cocoa powder in the crust and added about 2 tablespoons of sugar to give it a bit more sweetness. I also used Jello Pudding mix in replace of the custard powder. Works just the same. Excellent cheesecake! This recipe is a keeper!

    I have made this cheesecake several times, add in cornstarch in place of the custard powder. This taste better than the directions she gives on the video if you don't have custard powder. The amount of chocolate sauce you can cut in half, its too much chocolate to add on top of the already rich chocolate cheesecake. This is the best chocolate cheesecake I have ever made, I have tried several different recipes off the Food Network.

    The recipe is wonderful. I doubled it (it barely fit in my KA mixer and neither cheesecake had a crack in sight. The flavor was rich. I'll definitely make again. I had custard powder, so no substitutions were made.

    Excellent Recipe. Easy and almost foolproof. I live in the U.S. and substituted cornstarch for custard powder and got terrific results. Custard powder is hard to find here. It got raves at at family Thanksgiving. I have made it several times now, with equal results.

    I have never made a cheesecake before and I wanted to make a chocolate cheesecake for my husband for Valentines Day. So Sunday night I attempted to make my first one. I used another recipe and it was a total disaster!!! The crust wouldn't stick and was crumbling, the cheesecake cracked like to tomorrow and then sank when I took it out of the oven. I like to think of myself as a pretty good baker and could not figure out what I did wrong. So the next day I was bound and determind to make it. I found this recipe and it was a breeze!!! Thank God for Nigella. The cheesecake came out perfect, it actually looked like I bought it from a bakery and I think it's the best cheesecake I have ever had.Like alot of other people I used cornstarch instead of custard powder. I wish it was alittle thicker, does anyone know if it would work if I doubled the recipe???

    I've been making this fabulous cheesecake for the past several winter holiday seasons. It turns out delicious every time, and is always the family hit. I use Instant Vanilla pudding rather than Custard powder- and it works just fine.
