8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons lemon juice
1 can Carnation evaporated milk, well chilled

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your cheesecake. Use fresh, high-quality cream cheese, sour cream, and milk.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs will incorporate too much air into the cheesecake, which can cause it to rise too much in the oven and then collapse.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the cheesecake to set and develop its full flavor.
