Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 blocks (16 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a small mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and continue beating on medium speed until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Lemon Juice: Gradually add the fresh lemon juice while beating on medium speed until the mixture is homogenous and slightly thickened.
  4. Pipe or Spoon Mixture: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag and pipe it into dessert glasses or a prepared cheesecake crust if you prefer a traditional base.
  5. Chill to Set: Lightly cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and proper setting.
  • If preferred, serve the cheesecake filling with a graham cracker crust for added texture.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
