thank you in advance!!

i was thinking of something a bit different like white choc cheesecake if anyone has it!!

Rikki

Yes.
I make one of delias

Lemon cheesecake. ( I sometimes make it with oranges instead.)

ngredients

3-4 lemons
12 oz ricotta cheese
1 x 11 g sachet gelatine powder
2 large egg yolks
2½ oz caster sugar
10 floz double cream

For the base
8 digestives bicuits
2 oz (50 g) melted butter

I crush the biscuits and mix into the melted butter. Spread in the base of an 8" loose bottom tin. cool in fridge.
Mix gelatine with 3tbs of cold water and stand the dish in a saucepan a hot water to disolve. let it cool.
Mix sugar and egg yolks in a bowl then add ricotta cheese and juice of the lemons . Whisk cream until it thickens. Add cooled gelatine mixing all the time. stir in cream. Pour onto base and cool in fridge for at least 3 hours so it sets.

I do mine in the liquidiser and then I add the zest of the lemons to make it quite tangy.

Hi
This is my very first reply so i hope it goes ok. The easiest one i have ever done is:

For the base use digestive buiscuts and some melted butter to bond.
For the cheese cake use 1 tub of Mascarpone Cheese (or any soft cheese) and add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to sweeten and any tinned or fresh fruit you fancy, given a whirl in a blender/food processor - strawberries work really well!!!

Just pop it all in the fridge for an hour or so to set and thats it no cooking at all and very yummy!!! :T

OH MY GOD that looks lush (and well out of my capabilities!)

baileys and malteser! (it's pricey but really good for a special occasion

standard digestive base ( I prefer it to ginger biscuits ) philly, icing sugar, a good glug of baileys, crushed maltesers, quite big pieces otherwise you get no bits of comb and just end up with chocolate bits throughout and it's a bit of a let down,add some crunchy for extra bits if you like it should set but if not a bit of gelatine bunged in and decorate with milk and white maltesers.

Otherwise a cheap alternative manderine one is always nice too, digestive or ginger base, mandarin jelly,keep some on the side for topping, make most of it up allow to part set, and whip it up with a bit of evaporated milk then pop on top of the base, once this sets make up normal jelly with what you reserved pour on top of the rest of the mix and pop in some tinned mandarins so they set into the mix

Hope this helps
