Cheesecake (Kylie)

Ok, this is for cheesecake in a 9x13 pan:

Crust: (homemade is best!)

2 packages of crushed graham crackers (there are usually three in a box of graham crackers, so 2/3 of a box of graham crackers)--I crush them in a gallon zip lock back with my dough roller. Just pound the hell out of those graham crackers!

1/3 c brown sugar

1/2 c melted butter

Mix crust ingredients together and press into ungreased pan.

Filling:

2 packages cream cheese

2/3 c lemon juice

2 tsp vanilla (vanilla bean paste makes a great difference in the flavor and look of the cheesecake)

2 cans sweetened condensed milk

Mix filling ingredients in a blender. I suppose you could just beat them, but I've never tried that since the blender is so easy. Pour over crust. Refrigerate 3+ hours.

I didn't make a raspberry or strawberry topping, but you could easily whip that up and have it as an option for your guests. Enjoy!
