Recipe notes:
This recipe for 2 is made in a 4″ cake tin but if you only have an 8 or 9″ cake tin you can double the recipe. If you use a larger cake tin than 4″ you may need to shorten the cooking time as it will not be as deep as the one made in the 4″ tin.
This recipe makes more jam that is needed for the recipe so you can serve the leftover portion on the side to pour over the cheesecake. Delicious!
