For the attached recipe from veggie magazine, what size cheesecake/tart tin would you guys recommend?? Not listed in recipe. That would give 4 to 6 portions.

What about a 15cm and cut it up into 6 pieces. Or too thick a slice??

Thank you guys!!!

I see that the recipe is one of Dale Pinnock's and I've just looked up a similar recipe and I would say to use a tin about the size you mentioned and no larger than 23cm. One of Dale's recipes uses the same amount for the base, but far more ingredients for the filling and he uses a 23cm tin. Can you get all those ingredients where you live?
As for cutting it up, you will be able to choose the size of slice that you want.

As it's not being cooked the tin size isn't quite as important, but I think I'd use a 20cm (8inch) tin for the first go, and then see what you think of the depth and proportions of each layer. If it looks too thin, try a smaller tin next time. If the base is too thick, use a larger tin.

'serving 4-6' doesn't suggest anything larger than 20cm to me.
