Yummy No Bake Cheesecake

I love cheesecake.
I'm pretty sure that I admitted in one of my Not Me Monday posts, that I had eaten at The Cheesecake Factory twice in one week just because I love cheesecake so much!

If you have ever baked a real cheesecake, you know that it is a TON of work...and mine always end up with a huge crack right down the middle. So when I am craving cheesecake but don't want to deal with the ordeal of making a real baked one, this is my go to recipe. It is SUPER simple and oh so yummy!

No Bake Cheesecake
graham cracker crust
two 8 oz packages of cream cheese
1/3 cup of lemon juice
one can of sweetened condensed milk
one teaspoon of vanilla
Mix cream cheese until smooth. Add in the lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Mix until creamy. Pour into prepared crust and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

Serve plain or with the fruit topping of your choice.

  18. This is my husband's FAVORITE dessert! He hates regular cheesecake! But we only add 1 package of cream cheese...and it's always runny! So thanks, I will try it with 2 packages next time. : )

    Oh, and I am going backwards through your blog, so far I am on hour #2.
