    Cook's Notes
  • 11
    The Stoneware 29cm Rectangular Dish can go into the freezer, so the cheesecake can be made in advance and frozen without the rhubarb on top for up to 3 months or it will keep refrigerated without the rhubarb on top for a couple of days. The fruit can then be added just before serving.
