Ingredients:

• 2 packages (8 ounces each) Of Philadelphia cream cheese , softened
• 1 can of carnation condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice, or the store bought lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Make the filling:

• place the 2 packages of cream cheese in In a large mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid)

• Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice
• Turn on medium speed and mix until smooth

2. Assemble the cheesecake:

• Take the Keebler pre-made pie crust and make sure it is at room temperature.
• Pour the cream cheese filling into the pre-made pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
• Add and evenly distribute cherry pie filling, or if someone doesn’t like cherries then you can put it on half of the cheesecake.

3. Chill the cheesecake:

• Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set.

Serve and enjoy:

• Once the cheesecake has set, you can slice and serve directly from the pre-made pie crust.

Out of all the cheesecake recopies this has to be the easiest and best one I have ever come across. There’s no baking and heating up the house and people will flock to this delicious cake
