No Bake Lemon (Or Plain) Cheesecake
"I've searched and searched and nowhere on 'zaar can I find this exact recipe. It contains no "whipped topping" and no eggs. It comes from a packet of Philly cream cheese. For a plain cheesecake, use 1 T vanilla extract and leave out the lemon. Top with berries if you are so inclined."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born and raised in the USA but now live in Melbourne, Australia. I have been here since 1999. My husband is Australian. We have two daughters (born May '05 and May '07) and a yellow Labrador.
I cook mainly for my family. I do my best to feed them (and myself) plenty of whole grains and vegetables, with small amounts of lean meats and "good fats". Most of my recipes will lean in that direction, although sometimes I will post something that just tastes good!
