No Bake Cheesecake

No Bake Cheesecake. Not the stylishly decked and reaching the sky no bake cheesecake. This is the simplicity, minimal ingredients cheesecake. For the bottom layer, it's not the expensive digestive biscuits, but the ordinary my growing up years famous cream crackers. Crushed and crumbled with butter and pressed into a greased pan. Its rather crumbly. For a compact non crumbly version, your please for adding more butter please. Whereas for the top layer, its cream cheese, lemon juice and condensed milk whisked together. That's about it for the ingredients and that's about all to making this No Bake Cheesecake. Set it in the fridge for at least 24 hours and here we have this creamy, lemony cheese atop the crumbly, buttery biscuit layer.
