Eagle Brand Cheesecake

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings 10 servings

Ingredients

For the Recipe

  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14-ounce) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the crust: stir the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter until the mixture is sand-like. Press the crust mixture firmly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Make the cheesecake filling: in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer over medium speed until it's smooth and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until combined.
  • Beat in the eggs, one by one, followed by the lemon juice. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake it for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the center is set but still a little wobbly. Remove it from the oven and pour the sour cream on top. Bake it for 5 more minutes.
  • Let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour at room temperature before refrigerating. Chill it for at least 4 hours. Serve it with cherry pie filling, if using.
  • Increase the cream cheese to 4 (8-ounce packages)
  • Increase the eggs to 4.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of flour after beating in the eggs.
  • Omit the sour cream.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the center is set.
