BEST recipe ever (and probably the most common, it's off the Philly box) - I have been making this for years & everyone loves it. My kids don't consider anythign else to be cheesecake
2 x 250g blocks of Philadelphia cheese, softened to room temp
1 x time sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of gelatine, dissolved in 1/4 cup of boiling water
1 pack of biscuits, crushed
butter (maybe 1/3 cup?
Melt butter, mix with crushed biscuits. Press into base of pan & refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Beat philly cheese until soft. Add condensed milk & beat until well mixed. Add lemon juice and and beat. Dissolve gelatine in water and add. Beat well.
Pour mix into prepared base, refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 - 8 hours. YUM.
ETA - the amounts are a bit approximate, I have been doing this so long now I don't use the recipe. When I mix the biscuits & butter, I add the butter gradually until I have it well moistened - I'm not sure exactly how much to use. And I think the original recipe called for one block of cheese, but I have always used two.
You can add grated lemon rind to the mix, makes it more zesty, and it is awesome with fresh fruit on top.
