Alright, let’s talk about this Philadelphia cream cheese cheesecake, the one they call “Kraft” somethin’ somethin’. I ain’t no fancy cook, mind you, just a regular person who likes good food, and this here cheesecake? It’s good food, real good.

First off, they say this Philadelphia cream cheese is the “number one” in America. Well, I ain’t counted ’em all myself, but I reckon it’s gotta be up there. This fella, William Lawrence, he made it way back when in New York. They named it Philadelphia ’cause that city was all about fancy stuff, just like this cheese. Sounds about right to me.
Now, this cheesecake I’m talkin’ about, it ain’t one of them complicated things. You don’t even need no oven! That’s right, no bakin’ at all. They got this ready-made fillin’, you just scoop it into one of them graham cracker crusts. You know, the crumbly ones? Easy as pie, or easier, I’d say.
What you need for this easy peasy cheesecake:
- A tub of that Philadelphia cheesecake fillin’ stuff.
- A graham cracker crust, already made. You can buy them in the store.
- Whatever you wanna put on top.
See? Not a whole lot of fussin’ around. And the best part is, you can put whatever you want on top. My grandkids, they love them strawberries and blueberries. Me? I’m partial to a bit of chocolate, maybe some chocolate chips or a drizzle of that chocolate sauce. You could even put some of that caramel stuff on it, if you’re feelin’ fancy. It’s all up to you, really. That’s what I like about it, no right or wrong way.
They say this fillin’ don’t have no “artificial preservatives”. I ain’t exactly sure what them are, but I figure it means it’s more natural-like. And that’s a good thing, right? We don’t need no fancy chemicals in our food.

This cheesecake, it ain’t just for desserts neither. You could have a slice for breakfast, if you’re feelin’ wild. Or maybe a little snack in the afternoon. I ain’t gonna judge. It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, it’s sweet…it just hits the spot, you know?
Now, if you’re one of them folks who likes to make things from scratch, well, more power to ya. But me? I like things simple. And this cheesecake, it’s about as simple as it gets. Open the tub, scoop it in the crust, put on your toppings, and you’re done. Even I can do it, and that’s sayin’ somethin’.
And talkin’ about Kraft, they got all sorts of recipes, not just this cheesecake. They got cheesy quesadillas, pasta dishes…all kinds of stuff. But this cheesecake, this is my go-to when I want somethin’ sweet and easy. It’s a crowd-pleaser, that’s for sure. I’ve never met a person who didn’t like it.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a quick and easy dessert, or just a little somethin’ sweet to brighten your day, give this Philadelphia cream cheese cheesecake a try. You won’t be disappointed. It’s good, honest food, just like I like it. And that’s all there is to it, plain and simple.
Here’s another way you can make it if you want to do a little more work:

- Get yourself some cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla.
- Mix it all up real good with one of them mixer things.
- Add some sour cream too, that makes it extra good.
- Then you gotta put in some eggs, one at a time, and mix it some more.
- Pour it in your crust and bake it. I don’t know how long or how hot, you gotta look that part up.
But like I said before, I like the easy way. Why do all that work when you can just buy it ready-made?
Anyways, that’s my two cents on this here cheesecake. It’s good stuff, plain and simple.
