MrsSRD makes the cheesecake in our household using her grand-daughter's recipe, which we've misplaced. She can ask for it again if you're not in a hurry but this recipe looks similar. The vanilla is optional.

Ok made a cheesecake ....sort of adapted few ...but got a query.

My digestive base I wanted bit thicker so I used
10 oz of biscuits to
5 oz of butter

and it was too crumbly

so would the ratio if I want say 9oz of biscuits be 7oz of butter

and I also didn't chill for an hour...so is that essential.

also I used double cream instead of whipping cream what is diff?

but I have to say the topping I did was delicious...I used

2 tubs of full fat soft cream cheese....(300g in each...although 400 might have been better ..as mix bit slack)
40z icing sugar
1tsp van essence
330ml of double cream

the mix tasted lovely but not as firm as maybe I would have liked...is that cos too much cream cheese?

It will need the one hour chilling to firm up and set.

I like to use dark chocolate digestives 50/50 with normal ones - binds the biscuit base together better.

The proportion in the recipe looks right but it's important to firmly press the crumb mix into the dish and as gardener said, the chilling is vital, it sets the butter and prevents the crumbling.
