Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 graham cracker pie crust

Filling

  • 1 package (8 oz) softened cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice

Topping

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until it becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth base for the cheesecake filling.
  2. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese and blend thoroughly until fully incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Incorporate Flavors: Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract carefully, balancing the tartness and sweetness of the filling.
  4. Fill the Crust: Pour the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly into the graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the pie and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, allowing the filling to firm up without freezing.
  6. Chill the Pie Filling: While the cheesecake is setting, chill the cherry pie filling to ensure it’s cold when served.
  7. Add Topping and Serve: Once the cheesecake is firm, evenly spread the chilled cherry pie filling on top. Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • Do not freeze the cheesecake as the texture may be compromised.
  • For a different fruit topping, swap cherry pie filling with strawberry or blueberry as preferred.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Chilling the pie filling enhances the flavor contrast and presentation.
  • This recipe is best fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
