Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

In another bowl, whip together softened cream cheese, white sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then set it aside.

In a clean bowl, whip evaporated milk until it forms thick, stiff peaks.

Gradually incorporate the cooled lemon gelatin while continuing to mix until everything is fully combined.

Gently fold in the creamy cheese mixture until well blended, creating a luscious filling.
