Combine the cream cheese and milk
In a medium-sized bowl, blend the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of milk together until smooth and creamy. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to ensure there are no lumps. -
Add the remaining milk and pudding mix
To the cream cheese mixture, add the remaining milk and the box of instant lemon pudding mix. Stir or mix well until everything is fully combined. -
Beat until smooth
Using an egg beater or electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until the pudding mixture has thickened and the texture is smooth. This step should only take a couple of minutes. -
Pour into the graham cracker crust
Once your cheesecake filling is ready, pour it into the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly for a neat finish. -
Refrigerate until set
Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least one hour, or until firm to the touch. If you prefer, you can refrigerate it overnight for an even firmer texture. -
