Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ c. graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • ⅓ c. granulated sugar
  • 16 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream and berries for topping

Instructions
 

  • Melt the 6 tablespoons of butter in the microwave, using 30-second increments until fully melted.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, covering the bottom and slightly up the sides. Set the prepared crust aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust in the springform pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
  • Place the cheesecake in the freezer to chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
  • Before serving, allow the cheesecake to thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, depending on how long it was frozen.
  • If desired, top each slice with whipped cream, fresh berries, or your favorite cheesecake toppings.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy your creamy, no-bake cheesecake!

Notes

  • Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature before mixing. This helps avoid lumps and ensures a smooth filling.
  • Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to press the crust firmly into the pan. This helps it hold together when you slice the cheesecake.
  • If you prefer a slightly less sweet cheesecake, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the crust or the condensed milk in the filling.
  • Make sure the cheesecake chills for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows it to fully set and makes it easier to slice.
  • While whipped cream and berries are classic toppings, feel free to get creative with your garnishes—try chocolate shavings, a fruit compote, or a sprinkle of nuts.
