Thank you!! We love this recipe! Used to be on the can of eagle brand milk. My husband spends forever looking at each can for the recipe. Apparently not advertised anymore. Now maybe we can get out of the store sooner since I have saved this.

YES!! This is the recipe that my grandmother used to use from the back of the Eagle Can. When she passed, I spent hours going through each one her cook books and I never found it. I've been searching forever! THANKS!

 Veronica says:
Thank you! I too, have been looking for this recipe everywhere. My mother-in-law always made it for holidays. Now that she doesn't cook, I had to make it but didn't know all of the ingredients.

I have been making this pie since I was 15 years old it was always my contribution to holiday dinner, I too found it on the back of the can and committed it to memory. My family calls it my cheesecake, now my teenage sons love it too!!

 DJ says:
My mom too made this for the holidays and I was unable to find it o the can nor remember the ingredients. This cheese cake is way much better than the baked cheese cake and has a little bit more pucker power.

I have made this for years and we all love it! My daughter has been making it for about 5 years and for about 3 of thos 5 everything went fine. Now she says for some reason everytime she makes it... it is too runny and won't set right. Can anyone tell me what she may be doing wrong. The only thing I think she does different than me is she puts vanilla and lemon juice in with the eagle brand and the cream cheese at the same time instead of lemon juice and vanilla after mixing the other two first. Could this be causing it?

Cindy, I too found the recipe to be running now. So I use 2 (8 oz. each) pkgs. cream cheese to 1 can of condensed milk, juice of 1 lg. lemon. My mother has been making this since the 60's, but now I have to use 2 cream cheese instead of 1 so it is not runny. I cream the cream cheese, slowly blend in the milk, then the juice of 1 lemon, blend, then the vanilla and blend another 5 minutes. I refrigerate it overnight.

 Deborah replies:
Thank you so much! The last one I made was runny also; couldn't figure it out. My son loves this pie for his birthday instead of cake.

 Catheryn Ireland (Utah) replies:
CINDY & LINDA - I have always made this recipe using 1 pkg. cream cheese, 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 c. lemon juice (instead of 1/3 c.). It has never been runny. If you are following the above recipe its possible the reason yours may be runny is the extra lemon juice between a 1/4 c. and 1/3 c.

I haven't seen the recipe on the can for years but I made it every Christmas & Thanksgiving holiday since I was in grade school, so I memorized it. My sister has used it too. I will use the same ratio whether I am making a small or large cake. I just double or triple the ingredients. We should rally for Eagle Brand to reprint the recipe on their can with the picture showing so we can clip it and tape it into our cookbooks. This is great on Ritz crackers too.

I use two packages of cream cheese, too. It is always a hit with everyone. One package just isn't enough.

I use two packages of cream cheese. Everything else is the same. Always the first dessert eaten up!

I have been using this recipe for decades. To any one having it being to runny here is what will help for sure with this and other recipes. PUT YOUR CONDENSED MILK IN THE FRIDGE THE DAY B4 MAKING!:) Cold milk = setting much better. I also use extra cream cheese for the flavor. For absolute BEST results make 1-2 days ahead, put in freezer, thaw fully IN FRIDGE the day of using :) hope this helps. Get creative I use this as a base for many desserts from simple to more complicated, including folding in what ever fresh berries are in season @ the end :)

Have you ever made Peach cream cheese pie? I use to be able to buy peach Glaze... but they don't make it anymore. I have tried making my own glaze using peaches and thickening with cornstarch but it isn't the same. Any ideas?

 Jeni Cox (Florida) replies:
The problem with the runny pie is an easy fix... you MUST cream the room temperature cream cheese with mixer for FOUR MINUTES then slowly add the eagle brand and lemon juice. I must have ruined half a dozen pies before I finally figured it out. My daughter was getting really tired of eating her favorite pie with a straw!

 Megan (West Virginia) replies:
Cindy, you add the lemon juice last to thicken it.

 Brenda Long (United States) replies:
They aren't making the cream cheese the way they used to. Look for organic cream cheese. The ingredients list has changed.

 Jean (Utah) replies:
Yes! I've found this with other recipes. The ingredients we're using are different thanks to additives to make them last longer at the store. Same thing with yogurt and sour cream - the recipes turn out better if you use the ingredients with the least weird ingredients added to it.

Thanks so much for putting this up!! We couldn't find our very old cut-out from the can and well it only took about fifteen mins to find it here! And I'm very glad! Thanks again for putting this up!
