cheesecake-001
Our family has enjoyed this very light
cheesecake hundreds of times since 1975.

12 oz can evaporated milk.

Pour milk into small bowl, cover and set in freezer for a couple of hours.

2 C graham cracker crumbs
6 1/2 T sugar
1 cube butter

Melt the butter, stir in crumbs and sugar. Press all but 1/4 cup of crumbs into 9x13 pan. Set aside.

3 oz lemon Jell-O
1 C boiling water

Mix Jell-O in water and cool on countertop.

8 oz cream cheese
1 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Whip cream cheese with an electric mixer. Add sugar and vanilla. Slowly add Jell-O/water mixture while beating. Set aside.

Remove bowl of milk from freezer and pour into large bowl. Whip until peaks form similar to whipped cream. Fold in Jell-O/cream cheese mixture. Pour over 9 x 13 pan of crumbs. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of crumbs on top. Refrigerate for several hours.
