Ingredients

2 bars (8 oz each) full-fat cream cheese ^{(softened to room temperature)}
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 (6 oz) store-bought 9" graham cracker crust

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it's light, fluffy, and very whipped. About 2-3 minutes.
2 bars (8 oz each) full-fat cream cheese
Add in the sweetened condensed milk and beat until thoroughly combined.
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Transfer the creamy cheesecake batter into the graham cracker crust and spread it into an even layer. Cover the cheesecake pie with the enclosed plastic lid, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (overnight is best) to allow the cheesecake to thicken, set, flavors to blend, and chill fully.
1 (6 oz) store-bought 9" graham cracker crust
Cut into slices and serve chilled with toppings of choice or as is; whipped cream, fruit pie filling, fresh fruit, sundae sauces, chopped nuts, etc.

Notes

This cheesecake is yummy eaten as is, or you can serve it with an assortment of toppings (think 'cheesecake bar'), and everyone can create their own. Topping ideas include fruit pie filling, whipped cream, hot fudge or chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, fresh fruit (diced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries), chopped nuts, chopped cookies (Oreos), mini chocolate chips, or some graham cracker crumbs or Nilla cookie crumbs.
Only use full-fat cream cheese for the best thick texture, creaminess, and results. I also highly recommend only using Philadelphia brand cream cheese as it tastes so much better than the store brands or any other brand. I have experimented lots with this so just trust me!
Do not use the "2 extra serving" graham cracker crust. You want the 9-inch graham cracker crust that is labeled as 6 ounces.
If you prefer using a homemade graham cracker crust then you can make that in a 9-inch pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan. Follow the recipe as is, but use your favorite graham cracker crust recipe instead.
