Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake

Today My Big Sweetie asked for a pie, and so I looked in the fridge and pantry for ingredients so I could invent a pie.  We had Oreos, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk...CHEESECAKE!

Here's what I did:

Crushed a bunch of Oreos with a couple of big tablespoons of butter and pressed a pie crust into an recycled pie pan.  Into the mixing bowl, with the mixer running:

•  8-oz block cream cheese
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup lemon juice

It looked boring and Mark thought suggested cherries on top, but we didn't have any, and frankly, I don't care for the over-processed sugary canned pie fillings.  Instead, I had a bag of frozen fresh strawberries, so I sliced about a half pint (frozen) and added those to the mix, tasted it, and added a half teaspoon of strawberry extract.  It looks vaguely pink, and little chunks of sliced, then pulverized strawberries fleck the pie.  I filled the pie and we shared a little dessert cup of what wouldn't fit, and My Big Sweetie wholeheartedly approves!
