- ¾ cup (6 oz) full-fat sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 500°F (260°C).
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 7-inch round springform pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a large sheet of parchment paper, ensuring it covers the sides completely.

Notes
- Flavor Additions: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter for extra flavor.
- Crust Option: For a more traditional touch, press crushed graham crackers into the pan before adding the batter.
- Toppings: Serve with fresh berries, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
