I think if you keep it in the fridge, it will stay for upto three days. Hmmmm, I had a really nice strawberry cheesecake the other day. Must get some more. Just having some caramel dessert at the moment!

Re: Bank Holiday
You'll be pleased to know I didn't eat the cheesecake... it looked a bit congealed. I promise not to waste it next time (although my waistline may wish me to - I have eaten way too much cake and pizza) but on a happier note, the chocolate cake was still fine... well nothing that a bit of added ice cream couldn't fix! 
Healthy eating plan starts now. Honest. Well just after lunch at Pizza Express...but it was organised a while ago (yesterday)... goodness this is like a confessional! HAHA!
PS Love Come Dine With Me too - and, Beate, I agree! A cold starter definitely counts! ANd teh poppyseed debacle was brilliant!!!

Re: Bank Holiday
My favourite cheesecake recipe - really easy to make!
Ingredients
• 200g/8oz Ginger Biscuits
• 100g/4oz Unsalted Butter
• 400g/14oz Full-Fat Soft Cheese
• 50g/2oz Icing Sugar
• Juice 1/2 Lemon
• 1 tsp Ground Ginger
• 100g/4oz Greek Yoghurt
• 50g/2oz Crystallised Ginger, chopped
• roasted rhubarb or other seasonal fruit compote (faily tart) for the topping
• Double Cream to serve - (optional extravagence)
Blitz the biscuits in a food processor (or crush in a sealed bag) until you get fine crumbs. Gently melt the butter, then mix with the crumbs in a bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the base of a 20cm loose-bottomed round cake tin (no larger!). Chill in the fridge while making the filling.
Put all remaining ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread over the base, smoothing with a palette knife, but leave a shallow depression to contain the topping. Leave overnight in the fridge to set (or longer, which intensifies the ginger flavours).
Remove from the tin and top with your chosen fruit, slice and serve with double cream.
