I use Marscapone cheese (though any thick creamy cheese will do) mixed with low fat fromage frais and double cream.  The fromage frais makes it lighter than using all cream cheese, and the well whipped cream makes it rich and creamy.  I got the basic recipe from Delia a few years ago.  She used pineapple juice in the mixture and decorated the cheesecake with pineapple pieces, its delicious.  If you don't want it to be too sweet a squeeze of lemon juice in the mix is good too.

Nichola, when I make cheesecake I use one tub kaymak to 3/4 tub labne, 1 dsp sugar, zest of a lemon and juice of a lemon, works out really well.  For the base I use Burçak Eti Yulaflu biscuits.

I've started something now Nichola - Garry wants to bring some in his case for you as well (think he's after the cheesecake too  :) ).  You could end up being inundated with gingernut biscuits ................  :)

It's one of my life's quests, searching out the perfect cheesecake.
Not really found a memorable one in Turkey yet. Any suggestions where one might enjoy one in Calis or fethiye

Easy option for biscuit base is to grind up museli in a food processor, add melted butter and pack into a base. Bim are selling some quite nice museli. Sorry but don't have my cheese cake recipe here, it's in France, but I use Philadelphia type cheese, sugar, egg yolks and some flour, bake it very slowly.
Bon appetit. X
