How about Nick Nairn's Clementine cheesecake with vodka and honey? As follows:
6-8 large clementines, peeled and segmented, with all pith etc removed
14 oz cream cheese (room temp)
150 ml single or whipping cream
3 tablespoons vodka
2 tablespoons runny honey
11 oz ginger snap biscuits (though I prefer to use chocolate cookies or suchlike)
4 oz butter, melted

Line 9-inch deep cake tin with clingfilm and arrange clementine segments in concentric circles on bottom. Beat cream cheese until soft, then add honey and vodka; beat well to mix. Add cream, beating really well until slightly thickening. Spoon over clementines in dollops, then smooth with knife (preferably palette) until oranges are completely covered. Put into fridge to chill. Meanwhile, pulverise biscuits and mix with melted butter. Remove cheesecake from fridge, sprinkle biscuit mixture over cheese mixture and press gently to firm. Put back in fridge for at least 3 hours. To serve, invert cheesecake over serving plate, lift off tin and peel away clingfilm.

I make a very simple un-baked lemon cheesecake. You can make it with any fruit you like.

1 packet Ginger nut biscuits crushed
150g Butter melted
4-5 tbsp caster sugar
200g philadelphia
250g mascarpone
4 lemons, zested and juiced
200g caster sugar
1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped out or 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Make the base by mixing the biscuits with the butter and 4-5 tbsp caster sugar. Press into a spring-form tin and place in the fridge to set.

Mix together all the other ingredients together and pour over the base. Leave in the fridge to set.

There is a lovely peach melba cheesecake on the cover of August's Good Food magazine. Recipe will be on their website.

They all look lovely but it has to be baked for me.

I made on recently using ginger biscuits for the base - marscapone for the cheesecake, blended with lime and lemon juice and zest and icing sugar. When almost set I swirled the top with lemon curd - was very lovely! No quantities though as I don't use recipe - benefit: you can make whatever size you want. Also think one with breadbread biscuit base (crushed like the ginger buscuits and blended with melted butter) topped with plain cheesecake (just add vanilla) and then spread thin layer of whipped cream on top and pile high with sliced strawberries! Yum!

This is my sister Diana's recipe - believe me - she likes good solid rich food !

Mascarpone Cheesecake

· 100g digestive biscuits
· 25g butter (melted)
· 250g tub Mascarpone Cheese
· 20g icing sugar
· 1 lime (zested and juiced)

Crush the digestive biscuits and add the melted butter.
Press into a tin.
Chill in the fridge.
Whisk together the Mascarpone Cheese, icing sugar and lime zest and juice.
Spread over the biscuit base.
Chill in the fridge.
You could decorate the top of the cheesecake with slices of kiwi fruit or chocolate buttons.
This recipe is seriously yummy to the power of a thousand !

To add a little extra, chop up a Crunchie (chocolate bar) into the ginger biscuit mix. Oops I'm drooling over my keyboard!

This thread has made me put on 2 lbs just reading it. The recipes all sound so delicious I can hardly wait to try one.

OK it'll take me a wee while as I have to find the book back in a bit

Having trouble finding the right book - I have all Nigella's so currently traweling through them for this recipe. Might take me a while but I'll certainly post it here for you, can you keep a watch out for it? It is worth it as it is delicious - I've put weight on just thinking about it!
