After setting aside to cool, you may notice a few drops of condensation on the slice, this is the desired result.

Hi Jackie Bee,
We're sorry to hear about your experience. This recipe does serve a crowd, and the dish will be very full once you add the cheese mixture over the base, which is why we recommend using such a large baking dish (it should be at least 32 x 22 cm, measuring along the base of the dish, and 7 cm, measuing along the inside wall of the dish; this is the size we used when tsting the recipe in-house).
And the filling will be thing (the consistency of pouring cream is correct!).
When adding cornflour to the mixture, we suggest adding it in larger spoonfuls, as the scales may not detect the weight properly when adding in small quantities (resulting in too much being added to the dish).
We do hope you try this dessert again - we have had other customers rave about it!
Kind regards,
Thermomix Head Office

23/12/16 I have made this today for a Christmas day lunch (in 2 days) I planned to put the meringue on tomorrow.
It smells lovely but be warned it is a very large amount of filling. I used the exact size dish specified but it filled that to the brim and another medium sized tin also, and spilled some onto the floor!
I worried about the ingredients, especially when it says spread filling evenly. Mine was quite liquid, like a pouring cream. Ikg of ricotta and 650g milk is a lot. It did set in the oven
Tasting the smaller one, the cornflour is the dominant taste. I believe there could be errors in the recipe.
I will probably not take it to my Christmas function, not will I make it again. Very disappointing.
26/12/16 Addit: I threw this cheesecake out. I had triple-checked every item and method, but a total fail.
