I made it last night said refrigerate overnight but it's not set :( I only need it tonight could it still set or should I be looking for another recipe for something else!

Was it a lemon cheesecake! I once had a problem when I used the wrong variety of lemon. I now only use Meyer lemons

It has lemon in it, gosh didn't realise the type of lemon would make a difference.
Dissolve 3 teaspoons gelatine in the smallest amount of water possible - maybe about 1/3c.(Microwaving helps).Let cool.Spoon out your filling into a bowl and add the gelatine then tip it back into your tin.Should save it for you.You could make a sauce to pour over it when serving - will disguise any imperfections that occur in retinning it.HOpe that makes sense.Its a shame to waste ingredients.You could also dissolve a pack of lemon jelly in 1/2 - 1 cup water and use this in place of gelatine.Will add sweetness though whereas gelatine doesn't.
I have a question about making a plain cheesecake -what type tastes better, the type that is made with cream cheese and sour cream (Edmonds), or the type that is made with cream cheese and condensed milk!Thanking you

Cream cheese and sour cream is the way to go!

thanks! thats the edmonds one which im pretty sure ill make, then i got confused when looking at newer recipes they seem to have swapped the sour cream for condensed milk

Using sour cream makes cheesecake a tiny bit better for you and to be honest is just plain delicious :-) My most favourite dessert ;-)

make sure you use normal cream cheese and sour cream, not the lite variety as they dont seam to set very well

This is very similar to my moro and baileys one :-).But mine is only 250gm cream cheese. and I use choc wheaten biscuits for the base. It's a good 'base' recipe. I often leave out the baileys.I've also left out the moro and replaced with boysenberries at times and melted chocolate at others (phew that is yummy but very very rich)

Only ever used lite versions and never, ever had a problem with setting.
