Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups graham cracker crumbs about 18 full size crackers
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 packages cream cheese 8 ounce each, softened
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 12 ounces Cool Whip thawed

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Line a 13x9 baking dish with foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. To make the crust, add graham crackers and sugar to a food processor. Pulse until fine crumbs. Add in melted butter and process a couple times until blended.
  3. Pour crumbs into the bottom of the 13x9 dish and press firmly into the bottom (use a cup or heel of your hand). Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice for several minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Fold in Cool Whip with a spatula, then pour cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crumb layer. Spread evenly and smooth tops.
  6. Cover cheesecake with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. When ready to serve, top with extra Cool Whip, fresh berries, caramel sauce, or chocolate syrup, if desired.

Notes

For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
