You’re right, this cheesecake is absolutely delicious, it was super creamy although I used philly light.

Happy new year!

Hi Angela-Ahhh ok. Yes fake syrup is not a great thing I have to say. Although I’ve tried Xylitol and that is a natural sweetener and is very close to sugar. Haha yes if it’s low fat, you can eat more-non?

Hi Cakelaw-Thanks! Yes it’s best to cover the ears and plead ignorance when it comes to these sorts of matters. I do regularly

This looks superb – I could definitely feign wilful blindness to the calories for a slice of this. All hail Nigella, Queen of Cheesecakes.

Oh, I’d just fiddle with the cheese and eggs. I suspct you’d need real maple syrup for the proper depth of flavour. (I’m just very greedy and want to eat lots and lots of cheesecake, and a lower-fat version is the only way I can justify it )

Hi ingrid-Yes it does look like flan now that you mention it-which is not a bad thing I guess! Happy New Year to you too!

Hi Angela-Sounds like a good idea. I think you can even get diet maple syrup at the supermarket although I’ve always found those diet toppings really bizarre tasting…

This—well, a low-fat version—is on my list of things to make from Nigella Christmas. I’m so glad to hear that it’s good, although nothing which has maple syrup in it can be bad!!

Looks divine, so creamy though it does kinda look like flan.

Happy 2009!

This looks amazing, I can’t wait to make it myself!
I think the book is well worth the price, there are so many recipes in it that I would use all year around.
Funnily enough I have just done the Gurdlebuster pie on my blog

Happy new year x
