Really good! The curd was super puckery, just this side of too much so. My curd started to scramble before it bubbled, but the scrambled bits strained out. My oven didn't maintain a consistent temperature that low, and Nagi did not provide many cues for cheesecake doneness, other than that the cheesecake would puff up; mine needed 15 min longer, at which point the center seemed set as well, and it turned out perfectly.

I made this with substitutions - 250g Greek yoghurt and an extra egg in place of 250g cream cheese (as I only had one packet) and all the sugar for sugar substitute. Mine didn't rise or sink and I didn't have room on the top for all the curd - but the thin layer that fitted was sufficient. Very nice as a lower sugar version. The base is annoying to cut / lift so definitely follow the tip to lift it out of the tray before cutting.

Nice, liked the curd on top, used Maria cookies. I poured the curd on at first a little too quickly, so it pushed the soft cheesecake down in the center. I think I prefer Cook’s Illustrated’s version but this was nice because it wasn’t a ton of cheesecake. It’s easier to cut this into smaller portions.
