Recipe: Easiest Cheesecake Ever

So you should make this easy, awesome cheesecake. I found it on Pinterest here, and thank you soo much to the recipe creator because man is it good. I've made it a few times and tried to make the steps seem even more simple. I actually made it for this weekend. My Dad's side of the family is coming into town for a play that my sister Taylor and my Dad are both starring in. There is this big local theater nearby that puts on great shows, and my sister has been in many productions there. But more about that on Monday! 

Ingredients:

- Sweetened condensed milk
- Block of cream cheese (leave it out a few hours beforehand so that it is smooth and less lumpy when you mix it up)
- 8 oz tub Cool Whip
- 1/3 cup of lemon juice
- Graham cracker crust
- **optional** strawberries and vanilla

Directions:

- Combine the Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, and cream cheese. 

- Add the lemon juice and mix until really smooth. (I just use a spoon because I am lazy but you can use a mixer)

- Put the mixture into the graham cracker crust. (Eat the extra with some fruit or graham crackers.. yum!)

-Refrigerate for a couple hours until it firms up some. (It won't be exactly like a regular cheesecake's texture, but I actually like this better-- its creamier, more like a custard)

- If you want a strawberry topping, put a few strawberries in a ziploc bag with a teensy bit of vanilla extract and smack it around on the counter a bit, let it sit for a little, then pour it on top of your slice. 

Told ya it's the easiest ever! Enjoy!! And have a great weekend :-)
