First I would like to say, HI, I'm  new.

Second, I would like to explain my problem.

A while ago, maybe a year ago, I found a recipe for a cheesecake online. I have made it twice since and both times It came out perfect, I received rave reviews from family and friends. I had the recipe saved on my PC.
Well..... about 2 months ago, I reformatted my PC and forgot to save my recipes. So, I lost it. Though I had not really thought about it... until now. I want to make my cheesecake! So I looked on the internet, hoping to find the recipe, but no luck. So i figured i would ask somewhere, and found this forum. Figured it was as good a shot as any.

I don't know what I am hoping for, since I'm sure there are a billion recipes for cheesecake on the internet, but....  This recipe made cheesecake from scratch and
the ingredients that I remember are:
Cream Cheese
Sour Cream
Cottage Cheese
Sugar
Vanilla
Lemon juice
corn starch?

the recipe also told you how to make a topping
corn syrup
strawberry
...?

It was a very basic cheesecake I think, nothing too fancy, but very good.
It was very rich and tasted great. I think it was called "ultimate cheesecake" or something like that... I dunno.

So finally what I am asking is.. does anybody know where I can find this recipe (doubt it, what are the chances?) OR (more likely) does anybody know of a similar recipe (with the same ingredients perhaps) that makes a great, rich  cheesecake?

Thanks!

Like Diana, I fondly remember a cheesecake made with both cottage and cream cheese. The version I ate and then subsequently baked had a pineapple topping. I think the topping involved draining crushed pineapple, thickening the juice (probably with cornstarch) and then recombining the two to top off the cheesecake.
I can't wait to recreate this recipe based on the ones on this website. I lost the recipe ages ago and everyone I mentioned it to over the years never heard of a cheesecake made with this combination of cheeses. I'm sure they'll be delighted when I serve it to them!

Sweet dreams...

I have been looking for the same recipe for about 5 years too and delighted to find it again as it's a great cheesecake - it steals the show every time!

I seem to remember it being a recipe published in an edition of Time / Life magazine around 1965.

The correct recipe is the first one in the list of recipes posted by Charles (159795). Simple list of ingredients but well worth it.

Hurrah!

P.S. I always have trouble with the baking temperature and tend to brown (burn!) it too much in the first stage. Any advice for a fan oven would be greatly received.
