1 (14 oz) can full-fat sweetened condensed milk
2 (8 oz) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, mixing until silky and well combined.
- Stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract until blended.
- Pour filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm.
- Before serving, spoon cherry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake.
Notes
Swap cherry topping with blueberry or strawberry pie filling for variety.
Make mini cheesecakes using small graham cracker crusts.
Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version (though full-fat gives the best texture).
For firmer cheesecake, add 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin dissolved in warm water before chilling.
Slice cleanly using a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped between cuts.
