There are so many different varieties of cheesecakes that sometimes it make my head spins. Made with cream cheese, with farmers cheese, with dough base, with cracker base, or without dough at all. This is super easy, quick recipe for busy moms!
The typical Polish cheesecake is based on farmer's cheese, the rest depends on the imagination of the baker. This version of the cheesecake - for super busy moms is super easy to make, and tastes amazing a bit like a lemon cloud.
The farmer's cheese has to be milled before being used for a cheesecake, but there is a solution to this long and somewhat tiresome activity. And I am using it in this recipe. You can buy cheesecake filling - which is farmer's cheese that has already been ground! Sold in 1kg (4 cup) size buckets- will save you a lot of time! And makes my life so much easier!

TIPS
The yolks with sugar mixed together in Polish are called kogel- mogiel and it actually was my childhood sweet snack and dessert!
Frosting should be thick so do not add all the juice at once.
After an hour the cheesecake might be a bit runny. It will set down!
