Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter, melted / Ghee
- 1/4 cup sugar (I use slightly less than 1/4 cup)
- 1 1/4 cups Biscuit Crumbs
- 1 x 226gm (8 ounce) package Philadelphia cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 x teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 x 395 (14 ounce) Nestle sweetened condensed milk
Directions
- To make the crust:
- Combine all crust ingredients and firmly press with fingers into a pie plate.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before adding the filling.
- To make the filling:
- Using a stand or hand-held electric mixer, whip cream cheese until fluffy.
- Gradually add sweetened condensed milk while continuing to beat until well blended.
- You may need to stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and give the mixture a good stir with a spatula.
- Do not over-beat or filling will be too thin.
- Pour mixture into prepared pie crust, cover, and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Add lemon juice and vanilla, blend well. I chill mine overnight for best results. The longer this pie is refrigerated, the better the no-bake cheesecake will set up.
- Serve cheesecake with cherry pie filling or other desired topping.
- Cover and store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
