you'll need:-1 graham cracker pie crust (i buy mine. feel free to make your own if you want!)
-2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (room temperature)
-2 tsp lemon juice
-1 pint heavy whipping cream
-1/2 cup white sugar
-any fruit sauce or topping you desire
in a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese (if it's cold, it's very hard to get a creamy texture) and lemon juice until soft. add the whipping cream and beat until batter becomes thick and creamy. add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. (this takes a few minutes. also, i always taste it right about now and make sure it's sweet enough. i usually have to add a pinch more sugar)
when your mixture is very thick and fluffy, spoon it into your graham cracker crust and spread evenly. chill several hours or overnight (THIS IS IMPORTANT. it melts fast if you don't chill it. overnight is best.)
just before serving, top with whatever fruit or sauce you desire! we are strawberry people, so that's usually what we dump on ours. but trust me, you can't go wrong.
also, think about how great this would be if you added NUTELLA to it. oh baby, i'm so doing that next time!
