Dates and Cardamom Cheesecake

A New York-style baked cheesecake infused with the flavours of the Middle East.  Here floral, citrus notes from the cardamom cut through the dense, smooth richness of the exceptionally creamy filling perfectly, while the dates provide a sweet, toffee-like taste. Do note that leaving this dates and cardamon cheesecake to cool completely before removing from the tin is essential.
