Make sure not to scrimp on the lemon juice – it’s the magic ingredient that’s going to set your cheesecake. If you add too little, the mix won’t thicken enough and your cheesecake (although still delicious!) won’t set in the fridge. We’d recommend weighing out 60g rather than eyeballing the amount..
Need a quick and easy dessert that's sure to impress? Try our classic No Bake Lemon Cheesecake recipe. Perfect for serving at family dinners, BBQs or special occasions. Made with our favourite Carnation Condensed Milk, this recipe is sure to create the creamiest cheesecake yet.

Once the mix is smooth, add the lemon juice and gently fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture starts to thicken up. Pour the mix on top of your biscuit base and pop in to the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours but preferably overnight.

To serve, take thecheesecake out of the tin and place onto a plate. Warm the lemon curd with 1tbsp water and then drizzle over the cheesecake, finish with the rest of the lemon zest.
