Ingredients:
- 1 (3 oz.) package lemon jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk, chilled
How To Make No-Bake Woolworth Icebox Cheesecake:
In a medium bowl, dissolve jello in boiling water. Let cool 5-10 minutes, or until slightly thick.
While jello cools, mix 3/4 graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a medium bowl, then press into the bottom of 9×13-inch pan and set aside. Reserve remaining crumbs for topping.
In a medium bowl, beat evaporated milk until whipped and fluffy. 2-4 minutes.
In a separate, large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice together until smooth. Add in thickened jello, then fold in whipped evaporated milk.
Spread filling evenly over crust and top with reserved graham cracker crumbs.
Cover and chill at least 2 hours, or overnight. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Helpful Tips:
For the graham cracker crumbs, you can either buy pre-crushed ones or crush whole graham crackers using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to ensure a smooth and creamy texture in the cheesecake.
Whip the cream until stiff peaks form before folding it into the cream cheese mixture. This will add a light and airy consistency to the cheesecake.
Feel free to experiment with different fruit toppings. From strawberries to blueberries, or even a combination of fruits, the choice is yours.
