Does anyone know the best recipe for the original cheesecake you used to get before all the ones that are around nowdays (sorry that is terrible English, but you know what I mean). The lemon and sultana one that sticks to the top of your mouth.

The raspberry cheesecake recipe on the bbc good food website is a baked cheesecake, easy to make, scrumptious and impressive to serve for others.

The one I am after is not baked. It is lemon & sultana & does not have fruit on the top.

You could use the Philidelphia recipe for an unbaked cheesecake .... just add some sultanas to the mixture and away you go .
75 g (3oz) butter
200 g (7oz) digestive biscuits, crushed
450 g (1lb) Philadelphia softened
100 ml (4fl oz) milk
150 g (5 oz) caster sugar
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1 sachet gelatine
100 ml (4fl oz) double cream, lightly whipped

Melt the butter and mix with the crushed biscuit crumbs. Press into the base of a 20cm spring form cake tin. Chill it until you need it.
Beat the Philadelphia until silky smooth. Add the milk, sugar, lemon rind and juice. Mix thoroughly.
Dissolve the gelatine in 3 tablespoons of water, over a pan of hot water. Add to the Philadelphia mixture and then fold in the cream. Pour onto the crumb base and chill until set.
