• This delicious cake is enjoyable as it is, but I do prefer serving it with cherry preserve for extra sweetness and flavour

• You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream when serving it

• Kept in an air-tight container, in the fridge, this tasty cheesecake will be at its best for up to 3 days

  
  

• This cheesecake can be made gluten-free if you swap the plain flour for a gluten-free one

• You can also transform this into a protein cheesecake by using your preferred protein powder instead of the plain flour
