There is a really easy one made with condensed milk. I put up a thread last year about using 2 tins up. It really is so easy to make and loads of compliments.

mix plain soft cream cheese with sugar to taste and a little lemon zest, lemon juice, again to taste.

Crush half a packet of digestives, and them mix in 30g melted butter and one tsp honey. Press into loose bottomed cake tin until compressed and even. Top with cheese filling. Set in fridge. Top with sliced strawberries and raspberries, et voila!

OK so thread has vanished??

Anyway you will need

3 oz butter
8oz digestive biscuits
30ml Double cream
Juice & Zest of 4 lemons
1 can of condensed milk

Melt butter and mix into crushed biscuits. Spread out in bottom of loose bottom tin. Place in fridge to chill

Add tin of condensed milk, lemon zest and juice and cream and whizz in a food processor until thick and creamy (or use whisk). Pour over top of biscuit base, chill in fridge.

Sorry Op who originally gave me this recipe I cannot remember who you were but my family and friends are very grateful!

I have a foolproof recipe which uses spongefingers (sometimes sold as boudoir biscuits) in stead of digestive biscuits and this makes the base less difficult to cut (and eat). You will need:

1 pkt sponge fingers
1/4 pt double cream
8oz cream cheese
2 oz butter
2oz caster sugar
1/2 tin of fruit pie filling (blackcurrant works best)

Crush the sponge fingers as fine as possible. Melt the butter and stir in the biscuit crumbs. Press into bottom of an 8" greased and lined loose-bottomed cake tin. Chill. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together. Lightly whip the cream and fold into the cream cheese. Spread over the biscuit mix and chill well. (You can freeze it at this stage though it is not quite as nice after defrosting). Cover the top with the fruit pie filling, turn onto a serving plate and serve.

It is quite rich and so you only need a small piece if you can resist it! You can get away with low fat cream cheese, but don't try the very lowest as it doesn't taste quite so good! Enjoy.

We were in a resturant in Unst (Shetland Isles)last week for dinner, whilst on holiday.

We all ordered cheese cake and it came - beautifully presented with green coulis sauce driblled around and over. They were all small individual ones.

When I looked across my cousin said this is digestive biscuit base. Yes - it always is we replied. No it is a digestive biscuit! I turned mine on it's side and sure enough it was a whole digestive with the topping on top. They must have maybe made templates or something for the topping to fit exactley. But they did taste lovely it was sort of limy. It did give us all a laugh though..

It's our fiesta time in our village here in Spain and I would like to impress the locals with a Baileys cheesecake.... so far so good.
I had the idea that I could put the name of our village and the year on the top.... but how....
a) I'm no good at freestyle writing with an icing tube (not that you can get them here)
b) cutting out letters in fondant icing has been suggested, but don't have any colouring
c) cutting a stencil in greasproof paper and dusting cocoa powder thro onto the cheese cake, but would this run into the topping after a short while producing a messy top and how could I stop the paper sticking to the cheesecake
d)using plastic stencil with melted chocolate spread on to the letters I need, then when set place them on the cheese cake, but I haven't got a plastic stencil
Can anyone suggest something easy please. Thanx
