No Bake Lemon Cheesecake
If you haven’t made a cheesecake before, then this is the one you must try first. It is so easy to make, with only a few ingredients and you can decorate it how you like. It also doesn’t take that long to make. If you wanted to, you could purchase a pre-made base and add the lemon cheesecake filling to this. This is a great idea when in a hurry.
First, you make the base by crushing the biscuits and mix through the melted butter. Press this into your lined springform tin and place in the fridge while you make your filling.
To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese. I use my Kenwood Chef to do this. Then add the condensed milk and vanilla extract and mix well. Finally, add the lemon juice and mix until combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling onto of the base and place back in the fridge for at least 6 hours. I prefer to leave it overnight, then decorate the next day, just before serving.
For decorating, I like to use grated lemon rind, whipped cream with a little icing mixture and vanilla extract added while beating and thin slices of lemon.
