My grandmother always made this cheesecake and I love it. It's easy to make and tastes delicious. I like the lemon juice in it, it gives it a nice zing that always makes me want to have a second piece.

Cooking Notes
I know that this can be made with low fat cream cheese, a low fat crust, and low fat condensed milk, but the one time I did all three of these, it just didn't come out good. I think the crust can be low fat, and maybe one of the other two products can be low fat, but I am not sure which one made the first effort turn out so poorly. So, for me, I just stick with the regular versions of the products.
