Hi Sugar
If you are still looking for superfine sugar infor......its white sugar that has been ground finer than regular sugar. Its used in shortbread cookies and other desserts that need a very fine 'easy melting' sugar. Custard powder is an English ingredient to make old fashioned custard. It is mixed with sugar & milk, thickened on the stove into a custard. Horners is the brand available in Canada. Not sure about the American equivalent but there surely must be something similar? Its a simple custard base...no added sugar. Simply a fine cornstarchy powder, very yellow in colour and sweet vanilla scent to it. Good luck !!!

I made this last night for a dinner party and everyone loved it. I substituted an Oreo cookie crust for the one in the recipe. I will definitely be making this again!

This is a great recipe. I couldn't find the custard powder and used the substitute and it was wonderful. I would definately make it again.

The cheesecake was pretty good. I liked the chocolate flavor but not the crust. Next time I will use chocolate wafer cookies. I don't know if I overcooked the cheesecake but the texture wasn't as creamy as I'd hoped. Probably user error.

Additionally, in response to Questions below:

1. You can make superfine sugar by placing the sugar in your food processor or blender and processing it until it is very fine.

2. The purpose of the plastic wrap is to help shield the cheesecake from the water in the bain marie (water bath. While foil helps, quite often it does not keep the water completely out. As you are using a springform pan, the pan is not sealed at the bottom. The foil on top of the plastic wrap helps protect the plastic wrap from melting in the oven.

3. Custard powder can be found at some Albertsons. It has a flavoring to it so the closest thing to use is the vanilla pudding (can be used for nanaimo bar icing also --- yum, heaven on a plate.

I really liked this recipe. I did use the cornstarch/sugar substitute and had no complaints. I cooked it for an hour and would have possibly cooked a little longe, but no one complained. Excellent recipe!
