I made a baked Lemon Cheesecake for our family xmas get together last week. I don't know if I'd call it easy but it turned out delicious AND was the first cheesecake I'd ever made!

I'd second or is that third the philly one. My Mum always made it and I have made it, very easy. My Mum used to use cornflake crumbs as the base rather than biscuits, it is very nice and can last a few days in the fridge too!

thanks girls! I'll do the philly one! YUMMO!

[mrsmac]

I have an easier one that is absolutely scrumptious...

Base
190g digestive biscuits, crushed
90g butter, melted

*Press into bottom of springform tin with potato masher

Fill
2 blocks light Philly, softened
1 can condensed milk
Juice of 2 large lemons

*whip all together until well combined, poor on top of base and chill

You don't need gelatine as the lemon juice sets it. Honestly it's the best cheesecake you'll ever eat! Yummy!

Also grate some peppermint crisp on top for decoration...very yummy! The one that ~Stoked~ has posted is good also. It's the one I used to make before the I found the other philly one.
The one with gelatine in it sets a little better.

I have been looking for a no bake, no gelatin cheesecake recipe tonight so I'm mighty glad I saw your post ~Stoked~.

You'll love this one then! I hate gelatin!
Just be sure to use ripe lemons cos if they're even a tiny bit green it won't set. And don't use the bottled lemon juice either.

I was coming to post the Philly one... I have been making it for years, and we have never found anything we like better (in fact my kids don't consider it 'cheesecake' if it's baked or in any way too far different from that recipe )
