"I originally found this recipe on the back of a can of Nestles condensed milk more than 30 years ago but lost it a few years back and after a google search I found it again. If you like a strong lemon flavour add the grated lemon rind. I use a deep pie plate but you could use a spring form cake tin but I think you would need to line the side. Chill time is the cooking time (30 minutes for crust and 4 hours for cheese cake to set). Once set I quite often slice the cheesecake and freeze slices in an air tight container - DH takes frozen slices in the morning for work for morning tea (about 2-3 hours later)."

Step 1
Line a 25cm (10 inch) deep pie plate with alfoil overlapping around the edges.

Mix in melted butter and combine well.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbs for decoration if wanted (or if not using nutmeg).
Step 5
Press rest or all of crumbs into pie plate, pressing down firmly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to help set.

Into a mixing bowl put in cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon rind if using and mix thoroughly until well blended (about 5 minutes).

Step 8
Pour into prepared chilled shell.
Step 9
Decorate with reserved crumbs or nutmeg.

To remove from pie plate lift out by edges of alfoil and transfer to serving plate.
