your favourite cheesecake base?

I made a baked blackforrest cheesecake the other day, it had a choc ripple and crushed hazelnut base. Nom.

stoked - i actually mean to get granitas or a digestive but couldn't see them & ended up with shredded wheat. i thought they were the same thing but they definitely tasted different (well, i HAD to try 1!)

pandora - sounds good! would still love the recipe - i'm in the mood to try lots of different cheesecakes at the moment. just need to find people to feed them to!

allycat - that sounds devine!!!

I LOVE cheesecake! I'll eat your cheesecakes Sloane

I usually just use the McVities Digestives and melted butter as base. Some of my fave fillings are cherries and white choc. Caramel (just use a tin of caramel and give it a really good stir until it's thinned out and pour it in the middle of the cake. Or just even a lemon one or chocolate...nom...

The best cheesecake I ever had was in Florence a few years ago. It was a baked ricotta one with berries. I haven't been able to find a recipe to match it since. It was absolutely divine.

that sounds delish eluned! and i hadn't thought of cherries....maybe they'd be better than berries. hmmmm.

I use the tinned cherries too, so easy!

choc ripple biscuits..mmm. Or I don't know how it would go with the cheesecake you're making..but oreo biscuits are great too. If you put them in the microwave to soften them a little first then crush them, you don't need to add butter as the cream between the biscuits is enough to combine it together. Or it is in the toblerone cheesecake I make!
