Cheesecake With Crushed Raspberry & Click Event Red theme

I republish this cake again, because i entered the Click event for January. Click is a monthly food fotography ( but I'm not always participate), with Bee and Jai as the hosts. This Month theme is Red, will be lucky if i win :).





Cheesecake is my favorite dessert of all, any kind of Cheesecake will do :). I found one nice from McD around here, Called Mango Chessecake with macadamia, those three are the best match, so heavenly!!.

Some place, they served the cake in a big pieces, which is too much for me (good for sharing), and some place served very tiny but expensive :( .

After i search the recipe i found this from Donna Hay book, but i used wrong size of tin, so my cheesecake ended up smaller that what Donna suggested, and i got some left over cheese batter, then i baked with my other tin (without biscuit base).

By the way, i can't spend too much time anymore in front of my Notebook, cos my back started to give me a problem :(
