No-Bake Classic Woolworth Cheesecake Recipe 🍰✨
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk, chilled
1 box (3 oz) lemon Jell-O
1 cup (240ml) boiling water
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan to form the crust.
Place in the fridge to set while preparing the filling.
2. Make the Filling:
In a small bowl, dissolve the lemon Jell-O in boiling water. Let it cool to room temperature (don’t let it set).
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the cooled Jell-O mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.
3. Whip the Evaporated Milk:
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the cold evaporated milk until it doubles in volume and forms soft peaks.
Gently fold the whipped evaporated milk into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the filling over the prepared crust and spread evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
5. Serve:
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.
Optional: Garnish with whipped cream, lemon zest, or fresh berries for added flair.
Pro Tip:
For a fun twist, try swapping the lemon Jell-O with another flavor, like strawberry or lime, for a colorful variation!
