Tip
You can reserve some of the biscuit base to sprinkle on top for an easy decorative finish.
For Christmas, I make a red jelly to pour over the top to about 0.5cm deep, and place seasonal berries on top. The kids love it!
Since I posted this recipe, some people have commented that their filling didn't set, although many others have said it worked fine. I have no answers as to why this might have happened. Perhaps the correct ingredients or quantities were not used? Sometimes people substitute 'light' ingredients and expect the same result. All I can say is I have been making this recipe of my Grandmother's since I was a teenager (over 30 years) and I have never had a problem with it. I hope it works for you.

Scleeve You have to make sure you use full fat...
Scleeve: You have to make sure you use full fat cream cheese. And definitely don't use spreadable cream cheese, they will not set. But if you did do that. I am out of ideas haha.

I made this today to have for tonight followed your recipe exactly and came out set and perfect. It's easy as and is a favourite. Thank you

Very disappointed, made for a mothers day event, cake didn't set. Off to buy something now.

Oh, that's a shame. Many people have had success making this over and over. Sorry yours didn't work out.
After 24 hours in the fridge,
After 24 hours in the fridge, still not set. My usual no bake cheese cake takes 750grms of cream cheese and the same for your other ingredients. I've scooped out the filling and am going to add more cheese and see if i can rescue it in time for my afternoon tea tomorrow
Easy Peasy! Old favourite
Easy Peasy! Old favourite made in a heartbeat.
I love all your great ideas -
I love all your great ideas - you could even make mini (individual serve) cheesecakes if you had time to fiddle with it. Thanks for sharing, everyone!
Hi, have you posted your mums
Hi, have you posted your mums with the pineapple? Would love to try something different than lemons. Thanks, take care Bek
So easy. The hardest thing
So easy.
The hardest thing about this cheesecake is not eatting it all b4 you put it in the fridge to set.
Love it, thank you so much for sharing
Your recipe looks great. My
Your recipe looks great. My mum maks a similar one also using crushed pineapple. In regards to the cheesecakes not setting it may actually be to do with the type of lemons people are using not your recipe. Myer lemons do not set cheesecakes. Anyone who makes cheesecakes regularly know to avoid these lemons so you don't come across that issue.
Thanks for the recipe, have added it to my list to try.
P.S. I think your decoration looks amazing, also interested in new ways to dress a cheesecake.
Awesome recipe. I doubled
Awesome recipe. I doubled quantities of all except for lemon. Just a heads up, if you use real lemons and or limes, you do not need to we the same amount listed. I used 240gms combo of lime and lemon - remember, I double th quantity - so that'd be 120gsm normally. It might be why some people are finding their filling isn't setting.
Yummo! I just had a taste of
Yummo! I just had a taste of my cheesecake, beautiful & smooth. I put the condensed milk in first by accident and chucked the cream cheese in too, didn't measure my lemon juice and it still turned out perfectly.
Hi,... I made your recipe
Hi,... I made your recipe yesterday for UK family visitors... as I used a larger springform tin.. I added 1/2 again of all ingredients... It was delicious... Thank you...

Great recipe.... I have made
Great recipe.... I have made it on 4 different occasions using lemon juice that had been frozen as well as freshly squeezed, and it has worked perfectly for me each time. So easy and so yummy!!!
Made this last night, took
Made this last night, took about 25mins incl pressing base into tin and cleaning bowl between steps. Tasted delicious! everyone commented that its my best cheesecake yet.I can't comment much on the setting abilities of the recipe because I added 1tsp gelatin to ensure it set as it was for a get-together today I couldnt risk it not setting, but I think it would be fine as with the gelatin it was a little over-set if that makes sense.
Great recipe!
Lemons must be ripe or
Lemons must be ripe or chemistry is not right to set.

i have used this recipe for
i have used this recipe for years also.. usually perfect, but i did discover that when it didnt set, the weather ws warm, or at least the kitchen was! also, i now know it is the pectin in the lemons that sets it, so yo need to use green or slightly under ripe lemons... as an extra guarantee, i have taken to using one cup of whipping crea,. added after the philly cheese and lemon whipped... so, just make on cool days, or put the airconditioner on!!! ps, the commercial lemon juice most definitely will not set the mix!needs to be fresh lemons..hope this helps and happy baking!
Thank you for the recipe!
Thank you for the recipe! Very helpful and very easy! I used 3 individual containers to make individual mini cheesecakes, as it meant that if the mixture didn't set well it wouldn't matter. Tasted delicious!
Terrific! So glad to hear

I've not varied this recipe
I've not varied this recipe at all so I'm not sure. Is it a lemon-flavoured cream cheese? If so, and it has the same consistency of 'normal' cream cheese, then it may work.
could you use the lemon cream

This is an impossible recipe!
how can 250g cream cheese set 400g condensed milk plus 185 mls lemon juice??
what a complete waste of money and time!
VERY DISAPPOINTING!
ChristinaRose
Thanks for the recipe. The
Thanks for the recipe. The base was great and very easy to make but the filling didn't set. I think it might need gelatine. Maybe if the lemon juice was heated with gelatine? And then the milk ingredients added after? It was easy though and did have a nice flavour. It just needs to set.
I just made this recipe
I just made this recipe yesterday and unfortunately mine didn't set either. My thermomix was cool at the time, I wonder if the Philly straight from the fridge has an affect? Maybe it needs to be kept out of the fridge before using? I've tried putting it in the freezer but that hasn't really helped it set.
This recipe is so simple, vey
This recipe is so simple, vey quick & tastes great. I have made a few times with fresh & bottled lemon.
Hi everyone, I'm so sorry -
Hi everyone,
I'm so sorry - I've only just realised these comments and questions were here. I'm a TM newbie and I assumed that I would get a notification if someone posted on my recipes (and I've been away over the summer)! Now I see that I have to tick a box for the notifications...
I'm really not sure why some of your fillings wouldn't have set. Was the TM bowl still warm when you blended the ingredients? It is quite a thick mixture. Where the ingredient quantities correct? I have used this recipe for over 20 years and never had trouble, and it converted to the TM beautifully for me. I used a condensed milk recipe from this site, but that seemed to come out exactly the same as the tinned condensed milk.
It's such a delicious and easy recipe I hope you'll be keen to have another go.
Catherine
PS. I hope it's appropriate to ask, could those of you who haven't already please give a star rating for this recipe?
