No-Bake Cheesecake Pie
Creamy, simple, divine. Among my favorite childhood desserts, the no-bake cheesecake pie still holds a special place in my heart. It’s become the staple treat I prepare for my own birthday parties.
Ingredients
- 1 ready crust graham cracker pie crust
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can fruit pie filling or fresh berries (optional)
Preparation
- With mixer, beat cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
- Pour into pie crust. Chill at least 3 hours.
- Serve chilled, topped with fruit pie filling or berries of choice. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
- I’ve been using reduced-fat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk, and find that the lower calorie version is just as tasty as the original.
