I made this three times, twice were successful: :)
The first one I followed the instructions exactly and it was wayyyyy too runny.
The second one I just added one more package of cream cheese and it was light, fluffy and firm. Delicious.
The third I made with light (not fat free, just light) cream cheese and it turned out great, too.
Just wanted to share!

Christina, many thanks for the recipe. My husband and I cook all the time and our friends think we spend hours preparing their favorite deserts.
Try a butter crust for a change. 1 cup flour, 1 stick butter, 1/3 cup sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. Cut until crumbly. I use a drop bottom pan. Cook 20 min @ 350°F. Thanks again.

Used to make this too and lost the receipe. So glad I came to this site because it is no longer on the can or on the Philly cream cheese package. This is so much better than those box no bake cheesecakes. Thanks

Thank-You Thank-You Thank-You I have been trying to find this recipe ever since my divorce!!!! I looked everywhere for this recipe on can, the philly cheese and on the crust!! and of course you know my ex would not give it to me!!!!

I'm too young (I guess) to know about the history of this recipe. I was looking for something easy. Just made it! And it was easy, and by the taste of the beaters, yummy! I did make sure to only use 1/4 cup of lemon juice and the consistancy was nice and firm. I also added a bit of lemon zest to bring out the tartness. Two thumbs up!

A friend gave me some fresh lemons she had just picked from her lemon tree. I wanted to make something good with them. I looked and looked for this recipe. Remembered making it years ago. Was so glad to find it on your site. I followed the recipe, including 1/3 c. lemon juice (except I made my own graham cracker crust), and it is delicious and perfect thickness. So rich and creamy, that when my husband and I only let it chill for about 20 minutes, it was already firm enough to slice. Yummy.

My mother made this recipe and it was great. It's been almost 30 years since her passing. Been looking for it for years. I finally remembered it had condensed milk in it and it brought me here. Making this will bring back alot of fond and forgotten memories of her. THANKS!!!!!

Added Kahlua and extra cream cheese. Yummy!!

My mom used to make this for my sister and I for our birthdays, since we didn't like cake that much - this pie was our favorite! Thanks for posting it here!! : )

Thank you so much for posting this...I've been looking everywhere for it....I made it years and years ago and my family loved it....tried a no-bake kit, but it wasn't nearly as good as this...I will be making this tom'w!

I am so glad to find this recipe again. I also kept searching Eagle brand looking for ths. Again thank you so much!

Fixed this recipe for Thanksgiving, and it tastes just like the cheesecake my mom used to make.

I was a new bride and we were stationed in Morocco when I made this recipe for the first time. Six children later this still remains everyones favorite. Making it again today.

I always have a problem with milk going bad cause I don't drink it fast enough. This recipe is a godsend and I can't wait until I make it for Christmas for a good friend who is a cheesecake hound. Thanks bunches!!!!!

I love this. I have made it several times over the past 25 years. Delicious and easy!
