This is Ali's family version of a cheesecake. It’s not high-rise as you’d expect a cheesecake to be which is why she thinks they've always known it to be called a pie. They love the fridge-cold texture much like the firm, dense New York deli- style cheesecakes. Its the only cheesecake recipe she's seen to use a malt biscuit and wouldn’t have it any other way. But I think it’s the sour cream topping that makes it! It was brought out for family feasts, birthday requests and was famed and adored by our friends.
It absolutely has to be served with whipped cream. In her family with the five girls vying (mum included) to be the one to lick the beaters!
