Step 2
In a stand or hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, pure vanilla extract, and lemon juice and mix until combined.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into the pie crust and spread evenly. Place in preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before adding topping.
Step 4
For The Chocolate Glaze: Melt the chocolate over low heat in a small pan, stirring constantly. Once the chocolate is melted, add the whipping cream and mix until combined.

Baking Tips
- Before beginning, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature so they mix together nicely and evenly.
- Be sure not to over-mix the cream cheese mixture, as this can cause the cheesecake to be grainy.
- When baking, check for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center. You want it to come out clean or with moist crumbs, never wet batter.
