This Lemon Cheesecake is so easy to make, there’s no baking required! With an easy-to-make base and an even easier filling, the hardest part of this recipe is waiting for it to chill!

This sweet treat is perfect for an after-school snack, or a simple dessert to finish off dinner, that the family is bound to love!

This one is perfect for double batching, so make sure to stock up on some cream cheese so you’re always ready to whip up this delight.

Ingredients (serves 8)

250 gram Plain biscuits, crushed
125 gram Butter
250 gram Cream Cheese, at room temperature
1 tin Nestle Condensed Milk
1/2 cup Lemon juice

Method

Melt butter in a saucepan or microwave. Add butter to the crushed buiscuits and press into a 20cm springform pan or 4 x 10cm pans (that's the size I have used in the photo). Chill for approximately 30 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese until light, gradually adding the condensed milk, then the lemon juice. Pour into the base and chill for approximately 2 hours.
Serve as is or add fresh cream and fruit.

The recipe is like this except I use 1/4 cup of lemon juice and gelatine. I also put whipped cream in the mix. Might have to try this one and see the difference.

I make one similar to this but also add in gelatin and cream. Might give this a try and see how it compares.

Ooh, if it’s so easy I’m going to have to try it. We love cheesecake and buy it every now and then for dessert. It could be dangerous if I can make it so easily and quickly!!! Worth a try though. Yummmm.

Sounds good and omits the gelatine that I usually use. Will try this one.
If you like another variation just brush your 20cm springform baking dish with butter and then roll Kellogg’s corn flake crumbs around the sides and base. – This is good for diabetics and those with renal failure as they usually shouldn’t eat sweet biscuits. The taste is wonderful just no heavy base to slice through.

I made this for a family dinner recently but added a half a tablespoon of lemon zest as well. It was amazing. It was tangy, creamy and delicious. Everybody loved it and wanted more! Will definitely make again as it was so easy.

Easy peasy – I’ love cheesecakes made from sweetened condensed milk. I also have to lick the top of the lid when I open it too.

Fantastically quick and easy – my recipe requires adding gelatine which I always manage to get gluggy. Will definitely be trying this one.
