Ingredients:
- 1 can of evaporated milk

- 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 pre-made pie shells
Instructions:
-
Preheat Your Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your oven is at the perfect temperature for baking your cheesecakes. -
Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend the mixture on high until it is completely smooth and well combined. This step is key to achieving a silky texture in your cheesecake. -
Prepare the Pie Shells:
Place the pre-made pie shells on a baking sheet. This will make it easier to transfer them in and out of the oven without any spills. -
Pour and Bake:
Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture evenly into the two pie shells. Smooth out the tops with a spatula to ensure an even surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. -
Prevent Over-Browning:
To avoid over-browning, lightly cover the pies with aluminum foil. About 10 minutes before the baking time is up, remove the foil to allow the tops to turn a golden brown. -
Cool and Top:
Once baked, remove the pies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. After cooling, top with your favorite toppings such as cherry pie filling, blueberry pie filling, or any fruit topping of your choice. This adds a burst of flavor and a touch of elegance to your cheesecakes.
Notes:
- For best results, let the cheesecakes chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This helps the flavors to meld and enhances the creamy texture.
- Feel free to get creative with toppings or even add a swirl of fruit puree to the batter before baking for a fun twist.
Enjoy your homemade cheesecakes, a perfect blend of simplicity and indulgence, made easy for any occasion! 🍰✨
