Creme Brulee Cheesecake

Right, so first recipe of the post-exam season.... This recipe I really like, not only because it combines the miracles of both Creme Brulee AND Cheesecake, but because it is the actual recipe used in Lumiere and Triton's Restaurant on the Disney Cruise Line! Woo! I bought the book before exams so now I finally have the freedom to start cooking. So to start, here it is.....
 I have also got a fabulous shiny new camera for my birthday, for which this photo is credit of :) Beautiful, is it not? I have also been very nice to you, because the recipe was in American measurements, and with my amazing powers that be, I have converted it into grams for you :D



 Right, so to start, here is what you will need.. The list is a little extensive but totally worth it
