No Bake Cheese Cake

To prepare: Get an 8 or 9 inch prepared graham cracker crust pie shell.

Ingredients:
1 pastry shell/graham cracker crust pie shell (8 or 9 inches)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
Chilled fruit topping/pie filling (21 oz)

Directions:
Warm/soften the cream cheese for a couple of hours, then put it in a large bowl. Beat with a beater until the cheese is fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk. Beat until mixed. Add the lemon juice and beat again until mixed. Add the vanilla and beat once more until it's all thoroughly blended. Pour into the pie shell. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Top with chilled fruit and serve (8 or 9 pieces). Or cut and serve and add different fruit toppings as desired. (I like cherry or blueberry)

how do you get your filling to set? I make this same recipe (except I lemon/ vanilla to taste), but I have to add Knox powder or the filling is runny and better to eat with a spoon or straw. ::sigh::

The lemon juice reacts with the cheese and condensed milk I think. Might try using the full 1/3 cup (it doesn't add much flavor, just a sort of tartness). Might work better...
