vanilla only belongs in cheesecake if you wish it to be that flavor. if you want traditional cheesecake,BIG nono! 

i learned to cheat when i did that!:)

yep, the vanilla is too strong a flavour but..........my lunch guests just left and after I told them what happened with the cheesecake, they still wanted to try it and..........they liked it.

I wouldn't purposefully do it again but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be......still FA material though ! lol

My new custard favourite is Portuguese tarts, I haven't tried making them myself though.

 p.s Lurker - I always buy a Custard Square when in NZ, $1.50 !

Custard squares over here are huge, I cant even eat one.

I hate Vanilla in any thing. I hate it when people ruin Cream by putting Vanilla and sugar in it Yuk yuk yuk

I've never heard of those tarts am?

Do you know how they're made?

i make a vanilla cheesecake now and then,with a cinnamon and chocolate ganache on top,almond crust,you might like that.

glad your guests liked it! 🙂
