Delicious, but took a very long time, and yielded a not-spectacular but very very good dessert. I made this exactly as instructed except that I skipped the final glaze because the streaky top was too beautiful to cover up. The sponge cake base does pair really nicely with the light and tangy filling, but making a multi-step sponge cake just to have a cheesecake base felt a little excessive. In the future I'd consider a nut-based tart crust or cookie-crumb crust as an easier, if not quite as light, alternative, or maybe use store-bought ladyfingers for the base.
