Lemon Cheesecake

This is a No Bake Cheesecake. Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. It's the one I always choose if it's on the menu at a restaurant. I prefer them plain and simple. The basic New York Cheesecake is my favorite. I have a recipe on the Blog that's the only one I make, however, I like this Lemon version and I'll make it for Easter.
