This simple recipe can be served as is in a graham crust or you can dress it up with a strawberry or peach glaze.  Either way, a little Cool Whip or whipped cream on top is good.

Lemon Pie II

(8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature

(14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

lemon juice

(9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

whipped cream

Mix together the cream cheese, milk and lemon juice. Mix well and spread in graham crust. Chill until set, at least 2 hours, and top as desired.


Very easy recipe.  Make sure that the cream cheese if fully softened before mixing the ingredients.  I added more lemon juice, because it just didn't taste like lemon pie. My family loves it.  I have made it 3 times already.

Great recipe! Easy to make and delicious. I added a little lemon zest to take the flavor up just a notch. I'll be making this one again.

As suggested by others, be sure the cream cheese is fully softened, otherwise you get lumps in your pie. I made this with 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 TB sugar, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 3-4 drops yellow food coloring. A sliced kiwi on top also adds a great touch. Yuuuuuuumy!

This was a easy & a great recipe.  I added a little vanilla and sprinkled some lemon zest on top.

As indicated by other reviewers, this recipe tastes overwhelmingly like cream cheese rather than lemon. I used 1/2 cup of fresh lemon and plenty of zest, and still the cheese flavor was too strong. Furthermore, I beat the cream cheese- don't do this! Cream cheese gets grainy when overmixed, which I didn't know until I made this.

This is a pie my mother has been making since I was a little girl.  We call it a cream cheese pie.  She adds 1tsp of vanilla extract and may use up to 1/2 c of lemon juice.  It is a staple at family functions, and is always yummy.  Mom always says it is very important to have the cream cheese at room temp, and beat it first separate from the other ingredients so you have a homgeneous mixture:-)

This pie is great! Quick and easy :o) I did use 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice plus a T. of lemon zest. and a tsp. of vanilla in the filling. If you have the time to make your own crust, Do It! (1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar and 5 T. melted butter. Bake at 350 for 7 - 10 minutes) Also, If you have even more extra time and extra money, make your own whipped topping too! Directions: Place one cup heavy whipping cream and 3 T. confectioner's sugar in a chilled mixing bowl, beat until stiff peaks form. Spread on top of this delicious pie and enjoy!!

Fantastic pie. Quick and easy. Just one thing though. I don't know if it's just me but I thought the condensed milk slightly overpowered the other tastes. I think next time I'll use a tad less than what's called for.

My husband found this and made it for my birthday.  It was so delicious I ask for it all the time.  It is a GREAT pie and so easy! I add a couple tablespoons more lemon- or even more sometimes.  I love a tart lemon flavor.
