Easy Mexican Cheesecake Recipe for a crowd

This Mexican cheesecake recipe is super easy to make. If you want to make your crust, it adds a few extra steps and about 15 minutes to the total time it takes to make, but it is worth it.

Equipment Needed

• Oven
• Can Opener
• Blender
• Ready made Pie Crust or Pie dish

Ingredients

• 5 Eggs
• 1 can Carnation Evaporated Milk
• 1 can Lechera Sweet condensed Milk
• 1 Bar Cream Cheese
• 2 Ready-made 9 inch Keebler Graham Cracker pie crust

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degreed fahrenheit

Step 2

Add 5 eggs, 1 can of Lechera, 1 can of Evaporated Milk, and 1 block of cream cheese to your blender. Blend until it is fully incorporated, Roughly about 30-45 seconds.

Step 3

 Take your blender pitcher and pour the wet mixture into each pie crust dish. Pour it almost to the brim, leave a little space at the top to ensure it doesn’t spillover. Transfer it over to the oven.

Step 4

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. If your pie rises, it is okay, it’s supposed to. After 45 minutes, let it sit at room temperature until it cools (roughly 15 minutes), and then move it to the refrigerator. You can enjoy it after it is completely cooled. I prefer to eat it the next day.

Pie Crust Instructions 

If you choose to make your pie crust, follow these instructions.

Step 1: Grind Cookies 

Add either graham crackers or galletas Marias to a food processor. They will need to be super powdery, almost like flour. Transfer it to a small bowl.

Step 2: Add butter

Melt 1/2 a stick of butter, and mix it into the crumb mixture. Something to note, graham crackers will need more butter. Add as much butter until it is clumping together.

Step 3: Press into Baking Dish 

Take the cookie crumbs and press the paste into your baking dish.

How and when to serve Cheesecake

This pie de queso is perfect for any occasion. My favorite time of the year to make this is Thanksgiving. I try to make it for my dad’s birthday as well since I know it’s one of his favorite desserts. If you’re wondering what drinks might go with this cheesecake, I’ll leave two recommendations. A traditional Atole (warm cornstarch drink).
