Easy lemon Cheesecake

On Sunday we had friends to lunch, so with Ad's mum, that made 11 of us! Another baking opportunity.
This cheesecake was, as the title suggests, easy. Unlike the cheesecakes that I normally make, this one used a flan dish, and said to push the biscuit mixture up the sides as well. I was a bit skeptical as there was not loads of base mix, however, it was just right. I should add here, that my flan dish has a loose bottom, which turned out to be very useful for getting the cheesecake out.
The filling involved cream, condensed milk, low fat soft cheese, and 3 lemons - juice and rind (my zester proved handy once again!) I actually used the juice of 3 and the rind of only 2 as I had already taken rind off one lemon for my madeira cake. The flavour was just right.
It scored an excellent 9.0 from the guests, and by Sunday night had completely gone!
Oh, I should add that Mary says to decorate with whipped cream as well as strawberries, but to be honest, I couldn't be bothered, and it tasted just fine without - sorry Mary!
By the way, is anyone else seeing Paul Hollywood everywhere?!  I enjoyed his bread programme this week, but I must not get distracted by different recipes, its Mary or nothing - sorry Paul!

p.s for those of you who are following this blog regularly, I managed to take a picture of the returned comic relief fairy cakes, for your amusement!
