How to Make Condensed Milk Cheesecake

Prep the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making it even and compact.
4. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Gradually add the condensed milk, mixing until creamy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
4. Add vanilla extract and lemon juice, mixing just until combined.

Assemble and Bake

1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
3. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
4. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set.
2. Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve with your favorite toppings!

Tips for Making the Perfect Cheesecake

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temp for a smooth batter.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can add too much air and cause cracks.

• Use a Springform Pan: This makes removing the cheesecake a breeze.
