Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers

Cheesecake filling
1 (8oz) package softened cream cheese
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
In medium size bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add Eagle Brand milk, stir in lemon juice, sour cream and vanilla; blend ingredients well. Pour into pie crust. Chill 2 hours and garnish with your favorite fruit topping. May be covered and frozen (thaw 45 minutes).
*I am not a big fan of thick cheesecake, so this was the perfect recipe for me! This is a very soft, creamy cheesecake! It is a bit rich so I might try adding some whipped cream to it to tone it down a bit, but I actually loved it as it was also.... my husband thought it was a bit too rich. We topped this off with strawberry glaze, fresh strawberries and whipped cream.... I loved it!
*Second note- I made this again and made it chocolate. I added 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder in with the sour cream and vanilla, then folded in a cup of whipped cream at the end. You probably could add even more whipped cream if you would like. I enjoyed this most after it had sat in the fridge for 3 days, the first day it was a bit rich. I might try cutting down the lemon juice next time just a bit.
