No-Bake Cream Cheese Pie

My grandmother taught me how to make this. When we were growing up, the best part of any holiday gathering was the cream cheese pie. She would have to make 3 or 4 of them just to make sure everyone got a slice. Otherwise we would all be fighting over it.

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, whip your cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and lemon juice (needs to be freshly squeezed juice, not the bottled type). Whip it some more for about a minute or until fully combined. Spread into the pie shell and put a cover on it (if you bought one from the store the little plastic cover is the lid). Put it in the fridge for several hours to set up (I recommend 3 or more hours so it can fully set).

You can add cherries or whatever you want on top of these. Growing up we did cherry pie filling but it’s great plain as well.
