Super Fast Lemon Cream Cheese Pie

Today I was in the mood for a cheesecake-like dessert. But I didn't feel like making one. Instead, I made a super easy pie made with lemon juice, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk poured into a baked graham cracker crust. What could be simpler? While not on the scale of the grand cheesecakes my mom used to make, the result of this 3-ingredient pie filling was quite satisfying.
