Cheesecake hasn't set

Hi,

I've made a (no bake) cheesecake and it hasn't set. The recipe was the biscuit base, then cream cheese mixed with sugar and then stirred into whipped double cream.

The cream cheese went really runny after I added the sugar.

It's been in the fridge now for over 6 hours and it's not looking much thicker. I've googled it and some suggestions say to freeze it and it will be fine.

Do I freeze and serve frozen, or do they mean to freeze and once defrosted it will have set?

Thanks, didn't expect to have a cheesecake disaster!!!

I always whip the cream and the cream-cheese together, with some lemon juice (which thickens cream like nothing else) - can you decant the filling back into the bowl and do some more whisking with lemon?

Do the above, and then dissolve some gelatine in some fruit juice/water and add after you've whipped it.
