This recipe comes from ‘The Weekend Table’ - the newest, beautiful cookbook by Tenina (link in bio). This recipe has been doing the rounds for years and has only improved with tweaks. People always worry about how ‘set’ the top of the cheesecake should be. It should wobble like a panna cotta when cooked and still hot. It will set further on standing and cooling. It is a sublime dessert and should be saved for special occasions!
