Tip
This recipe is definitely better made the day before, which in my book is always fabulous for a dinner party anyway.
To serve it is great to blitz a dozen additional Butternut Snap cookies and use that crumb in the serving. I normally put on a dollop of cream and sprinkle the crumb over the top.
For my very fussy son I always call this Sticky Toffee Baked Cheesecake, he is oblivious that it contains dates.

Definitely delish, and great with the gingernut crumb! Hard to come up with a name that suitably describes the taste, more caramel, I think?
This is most certainly one of the best desserts I have ever made. Added a raspberry coulis with it to have a bit of tang. A keeper!
Ciao, Chopsuey!
Both adults and kids loved this cheesecake! I took it to a party last night and it was a raving success - and there were about 15 desserts on the table!!!
