Cheesecake doesn't get any easier. This really is the easiest lemon cheesecake recipe on the planet. My grandma would whip this up when we showed up to visit. Quick and easy!
To make this creamy no-bake lemon cheesecake recipe, you will need just four ingredients. An additional one is optional. Here's what you need to grab to make this creamy cheesecake: cream cheese, milk, lemon instant pudding mix, a pre-made graham cracker crust and an optional lemon for juicing.
Want to fancy it up? Spoon homemade lemon curd over the top after it has chilled. But then it's not the easiest, so that's your call. For a complete lemon rush, top the cheesecake with a dollop or lemon whipped cream. Serve this incredible lemon dessert with a cup of coffee after dinner or as a sweet snack any time. It would be a lovely Easter dessert, too.
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes plus 1 hour to chill
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes plus 1 hour to chill
Serving: 8
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups milk
- 5.4 ounces (1 large box) lemon instant pudding mix
- 1 premade graham cracker pie crust
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Here's how you make it:
- With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until very soft.
- Add about half the milk and continue mixing.
- Add the remaining milk and pudding mix and beat until just blended, about 1 minute.
- Stir in lemon juice, if using. (Fresh is best when it comes to lemon juice, so if you do add the lemon juice, squeeze it from fresh lemons. For even more lemon flavor, stir in some grated lemon zest.)
- Pour mixture into the graham cracker pie shell. Chill 1 hour before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
