Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft.

Add the two cans of eagle brand condensed sweet milk and mix until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

Add the three eggs and mix well to bind the mixture together.

Squeeze in some lemon juice and mix until combined.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, checking at 35 minutes for doneness with a toothpick.

Let the cheesecake cool in the pan before running a knife around the edges to loosen it.

Release the springform pan and let it cool completely before adding the blueberry topping.
