    I can give you a recipe which can use those ingredients, plus a jelly and a lemon, if you can get those. Alternatively, a recipe off the internet, maybe?

    If that's all you've got then all the cream cheese with about 150ml of the double cream. But most recipes want other stuff.... what 'flavour' did you expect?

    I would just make it up based around other reciepes. Cant go far wrong! Coco powder would make it chocolate or sugar plain...maybe a splash of vanilla essence? Or you could just third the receipe you have? goodluck.

    If you have a chocolate bar hanging around (Mars, Crunchie etc), it can be melted / crushed into the filling - just save a bit to decorate the top.

    The recipe I use is:
    200g digestive biscuits (crushed)
    75g butter (melter and mixed in with digestives to make base)

    For the topping
    250ml double cream (whip till thick)
    200g soft cheese
    125-150g icing sugar

    Mix the soft cheese and icing sugar together and fold the whipped double cream in. {Put on top of biscuit base and smooth out)
    Top with fruit or sutable topping

    Best cheesecake recipe I have tried.
