Anyone have a good one?
Would love to make one...maybe even a Mint Aero or Strawberry one....

Cheers

Quickest cheat one I know is in a Readers digest book called The Cookery Year. I have adapted a lot over the years to make different flavour cheesecakes. I can send the recipe via PM if you like.

Thanks Polly that sounds really good....Will have to make some next week when I am off. :-)

Very simple line a dish with a biscuit crust. Then to make the filling you need;
half of a jelly tablet which normally makes one pint of jelly.
8oz cream cheese
2oz castor sugar
(if making a lemon or orange cheesecake add grated rind of a large lemon or a medium orange this is optional).
(I do use a flavoured fruit jelly gives it colour and flavour).
break up the half of a jelly tablet in a jug and make up to a quarter of a pint, stir until the jelly dissolves. Put in the fridge to cool but not set. consistency should be like egg white. 
beat together the cheese, sugar and fruit rind if you are using it. then gradually beat in the jelly, spoon into the biscuit base and chill until set.
If you want to glaze the top 3 tablespoons of fruit juice (lemon or orange or if you use other fruit I have used fruit juice or the juice which comes in the tinned fruits, (If using tinned fruits use the ones in fruit juice not syrup). add to the fruit juice one and a half level teaspoons of arrowroot and 1oz of castor sugar. Bring to the boil then remove from heat and add a knob of butter, when cool pour over top of cheesecake. Then chill again. If I want to put fruit on the top of the cheese cake I put the glaze over the fruit.

Let me know if you try it and like it, also if you do a variation on this....

If you come up with a good mint aero one can you post the recipe, please :) I love mint aero but would have no idea how to start

I have a recipe somewhere for an After 8 cheesecake - will look for that.

Have just noticed the adverts underneath this thread -
first one says:

then:

CHARMING!!

I make one with normal digestive biscuits or mixed with crushed amaretti ones.  Then make filling with whole container of mascarpone cheese, juice of lemon or lime to taste, then whipped with some milk and/or double cream.  It is really luxurious and you don't need to eat much. 

Just looked on youtube and there are some nice looking ones to make o there.

Buy a pack of philidalpheia. They have lovely recipes stuck on the lid -one is cheesecake. I have tried it and its delicious. Just a basic recipe that you can add whichever fruit you want to.

i made this white chocolate and raspberry one a few weeks ago, and it was divine. Really really really divine (i used 500g white chocolate by the way - it was just right - 600g would've been too much i think).

That does look really nice. So many choices....
:-)

Thanks for the ideas.
Cheers

Fred's Mum can I share a giggle at your typo.  It reminded me of the time I went into a supermarket with my friend Lucy who said she needed to buy some paedophilia...

This from the girl who, when discussing Cliff Richards marital status, told me he was a spatula !!

Mrs Malaprop has nothing on 'our Luce'  :)

dogs a babe, love it, my mum comes out with corkers at times but not as good as these LOL>

I admit I have been known to refer to the Co-Op's premium 'finest' food range as "Truly Irresponsible". And our family has referred to a certain supermarket chain as Sellafield for years [Somerfield].

Hehe, thanks for the giggle dogs a babe. I wrote so fast i didnt even notice the typo....least it wasnt too embarassing :-)
