Lemon Cheesecake Squares

"A favourite treat at our house. It has a light, lemony taste and kids love it! I found this recipe many years ago in a book called Best Recipes this side of Heaven. Remember to put that can of evaporated milk in the freezer when you start so it will be cold when you need it."

  1. Simple and delicious. Kudos to the chef. I made these with my daughter to distribute to my neighbors for Christmas. Everybody loved them. We made several trays. I found that real graham crackers cumbled up worked better than the pre-packagted crumbs.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
