So back to the recipe, today's is an old family favourite, we have tried and tested this so many times and it's always a winner and totally flop proof! Delicious lemon fridge cheesecake, super quick and easy too...

Lemon cheesecake

1 packet of Tennis biscuits

125g margarine, melted

1 tin of condensed milk (397g)

¾ cup lemon juice

250g smooth cottage cheese (I use low-fat)

250ml cream

* Crush the biscuits until they form fine crumbs. Add the melted margarine and mix till evenly spread through out the crumbs.

* Press crumb mixture into a dish, pressing down firmly to form the biscuit base.

* Mix together the condensed milk, lemon juice and cottage cheese.

* In a separate bowl, whip cream until smooth.

* Fold cream gently into condensed milk mixture.

* Pour over the base and spread evenly. Place in fridge for at least 5 hours (if impatient) but preferably overnight so that it can set properly!

And that's it, so simple. Enjoy the next day with friends!
