Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve lemon Jell-O in boiling water and chill until slightly thickened.
- Cream together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
- Add the dissolved gelatin to the cream cheese mixture and blend well.
- Whip the Milnot until stiff and fold into the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a pan and sprinkle the top with remaining graham cracker crumbs.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. If you can't find Milnot, you can substitute it with an equal amount of evaporated milk or whipped cream for a different but still delightful flavor. For a twist, consider adding a bit of lemon zest to enhance the lemon flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This cheesecake pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added flavor. It makes a great dessert after a light meal or can be enjoyed as a sweet treat with coffee. Consider serving it alongside the Appetizer Frittata for a delightful brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its fluffiness, it’s best served chilled directly from the fridge. If you need to reheat, do so gently in the microwave on low power for a few seconds, but this may alter the texture.
