- 1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 12 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (21-ounce) can pie filling (optional for topping)
Steps
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium bowl, mix together the 1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add the melted 5 tablespoons unsalted butter and mix until it resembles damp sand.
Press the crust into a 9-inch pie dish using your fingers. Bake for 12 minutes and let cool completely.
In a large bowl, add 12 ounces cream cheese, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth over the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. If desired, top with 1 (21-ounce) can pie filling, such as cherry, strawberry, or blueberry.
