Made these today to take to a BBQ tomorrow.
The recipe was easy to follow and didn't take very long. You do need to make these in advance as they need a minimum of 4 hours refrigeration before serving (mine will have overnight).
I didn't have the 6cm x 6cm dariole moulds so I used some oval moulds instead. Due to their shape, I couldn't get all 8 to fit in the bottom of the Varoma so I had 2 sitting on the top shelf of the Varoma as well. I covered both lots with a double layer of paper towel so water wouldn't drip back onto the cheesecakes (as per the recipe).
Compared to the photo in the book, I was a little light-handed with the poppy seeds. I will add some lemon curd to the top of each tomorrow prior to serving.
Happy with the results so far but I guess it will all come down to how they taste.

VieveMS -That looks pretty good to me!! Well done!! They should be delicious with that lemon curd!! :D

Well these were a big hit at the BBQ I went to yesterday.
Before serving them I piped on some lemon curd and decorated with a raspberry or two. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the finished product.
Everyone commented on how nice they were and many went back for seconds. I ate way too much for mains so I only tried a little bit of one but would definitely make them again.

These little beauties are my new favourite dessert recipe! I bought some dariole moulds especially for this dessert, and I'm glad I did as I've found a few other recipes to use them. Beauty of them is, the 8 dariole mould I bought fit perfectly into the bottom of the varoma. It was meant to be! :)
Alyce's instructions were spot on! Follow it exactly and you cannot go wrong!
These tasted as good as the photo looks...maybe even better!
I served mine as suggested with lemon curd and, just for pure decadence with a swirl of berry coulis (EDC)
5/5
I cannot wait to make these again! And again! Guests will be totally impressed! They look so professional (but are secretly really easy!) :D
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! Can you tell??? ;D

Hi CreamPuff, sorry for not replying sooner. I just looked at the website and I can't actually see the capacity of them. I'd estimate maybe 150ml or so?????
They are called "Tomkin Dariol Mould 18/10 67x56mm"
Am I allowed to post the link to the store where I bought them?

Yes, you sure can Blackwood.

I have made these for dessert tomorrow. They definetly have the wow factor yet are simple to make. We have had a sample tonight of the spare one. Unfortunately I only made 7, my moulds were 100ml size ( the ones katie gave me in Adelaide). They are creamy tasting, the Lemon flavour is lifted by the Lemon butter. Not an optional extra but a neccesity in my opinion. The poppy seeds add a delicious texture and are good for us. I couldnt get fresh ricotta as coles deli no longer sell it, i bought fresh and organic in a tub. I think it made the mix a bit runnier when decanting into the moulds and hence displaced some poppy seeds from the bottom. Not an issue as they are served upright. Will add a photo tomorrow. 5/5 will make again.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/24/emu3a8e6.jpg)
