[girnigoe]

Ok after all these good reports Im going to give it a try for New Year. Ive never made a cheesecake before and Im scared

Anyone got anymore tips for me? And also where will I find a 9 and a half inch loose bottomed tin in Wick?

Ok got the tin, £8 from Tesco (thanks nicnic74) but anyone planning on making it for New Year better hurry for the ingredients!!!

Tesco are out of normal philly, though they have plenty of the light and extra light varieties (not sure they would work the same tho ) Cream was flying out the door.!! and I havent even looked for the Orkney Fudge yet

Hi this is the recipe I got from one off my work friends slightly different to the first two in this thread but its great

Base :- 6oz of Digestives crushed mixed with 3oz melted butter.k

Topping :- 4oz Icing sugar creamed with 8oz Philli cheese then mix in a toffee yoghurt (I used a muiller light toffee yoghurt) Then fold this mixture into 1/2 a pint of whipped double cream then add some chopped fudge.

Then chill for a few hours or overnight - then eat yum yum yum

Hi elastic band
I'm not convinced that Anne x looks into these forums anymore.
From experience I would recommend that you make the Orkney Fudge Cheesecake at least the day before.
Good luck & enjoy....!

Hi Moira,

thank you for taking the time to reply -my wife is planning to make it Christmas Eve once the kids are in bed. She has asked that thanks are also passed to Anne for the original recipe.

Happy festive season everyone.
