How to Make Sunday Lemon Cheesecake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake graham cracker crust for 8-10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces (450g) of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually blend in 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk until fully incorporated.
Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups (360ml) of milk and 3.4 ounces (96g) of lemon instant pudding mix (or your chosen flavor).
Beat on low speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup (30g) of chopped nuts or graham cracker crumbs (optional).
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
