      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Wonderful! I made a biscuit base using half ginger nut biscuits, half arrowroots. Also used lime instead of lemon as it's what I had. Everyone raved about it!

    I have just baked this and had to put oven temp down at 150 the last 15 minutes and switch oven off at 35 minutes. It looks really brown, what do you recommend to avoid this? I have not tasted yet, will let you know about the taste! Cheers

    This is really good but a little runny compared to other cheesecakes. I did add more lemon juice, which it really did need. Maybe that made it a little runnier, not sure. But delicious just the same.
