Ingredients:
For the base:
1.Graham crackers - 1 package ( 10 biscuits)
2.Sugar - 1 tbsp
3.Melted butter - 6 tbsp

For the filling:
1.Cream Cheese - 1 pck (8 oz)
2.Condensed milk - 1/2 tin of 14 oz can (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)
3.Lemon juice - 2 tbsp
4.Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp


Method:
* Take the digesive biscuits in a ziploc bag. Take a rolling pin and smash the biscuits to a powder. If you cannot find digestive biscuits, then you can use marie biscuit or graham crackers. There should not be any lumps in the mixture.

* Add sugar to the crushed biscuit and mix. Now slowly add melted butter to the bowl. Make it like a crumble. Take a hand full of the mixture and try to make shape out of it. If you can make a shape, then this is the right consistancy. If not add some more melted butter to make it pilable.



* Take  8 inch pan and over it with cling wrap. If you have a spring form pan, it can be used. Now press the biscuit mixture on all the sides of the pan. If we don' t have the mixture without any lumps, then the biscuit cannot be pressed evenly. Freeze the pan for atleast 20 mins. This will make the base firm.


* Take  mixing bowl add the chilled cream cheese to it.Whisk the cream cheese well.

* Dump the condesed milk to the bowl. If you want, you can add 2 tbsp more condensed milk. But don't add too much, then the cake will not set firm. Whisk again for the mixure to blend well.

* Now add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the bowl. The lemon juice will balance the sweetness of the condensed milk. So don't skip it.
* Now ,take the cheese cake out of the freezer. Pour the cream cheese filling to the base. Smooth out the mixture evenly. Again cover the pan with a cling wrap and refrigerate for altes 2 hours. You can set the cheese cake overnight too.

* When you are about to serve, slice the cheese cake and serve. Garnish with a sprig of mint leaves.We can also add any glaze on top of the cheese cake and serve.

Notes:
* The cheese cake base has to be froze for atleast 20 mins , to set.
*  Adding lemon juice will balance the sweetness.
* The biscuit mixture has to be crumbled well ,to set properly.
* Don't add too much of condensed milk, then the cheese cake will not set properly.
* We can add any fruit glaze on top of the cheese cake.
