Recipe: No Bake Cheesecake

Here is a yummy cool desert for summer, No Bake Cheesecake! I put this together myself, my own recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker or shortbread pie crust
  • 1 sugar-free package of Jello "cheesecake flavor" instant pudding mix
  • 1 fat-free 8 oz package of cream cheese
  • 1/2 tub of low-fat or fat-free cool whip topping.

Directions

Follow the directions on the pudding box, stir mix and milk till almost thick, then add the cream cheese and cool whip. Beat till fluffy and thick. Pour this mixture into the pre-made pie crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.

*Optional: topping can be sugar-free frozen strawberries or any fruit you choose. You can also drizzle melted sugar-free ice cream topping like chocolate or caramel.

This is great for summer, no baking and it's SO YUMMY, my husband loved it! Plus, not a lot of fat or sugar, it's good for you!

RE: No Bake Cheesecake

My friend served something like this half frozen in dessert cups, minus the graham cracker crumbs or crust. It looked like a soft serve ice cream. It wasn't the consistency of soft serve, but it was good. The only thing that could have made it better other than being topped with some chopped fresh fruit or dessert toppings, would have been to had it a tad more frozen. I really liked it, my hubby didn't. (09/01/2006)

RE: No Bake Cheesecake

I have made this for years: softened cream cheese, sugar free lemon jello mix (dry), cool whip, I mix these ingredients, then put it in graham cracker crumb crust. Then I add low sugar cherry pie filling on top, cool. It really is delicious, my family always wants this for holidays. We are diabetic so this makes almost sugar free. Laverne (09/01/2006)

RE: No Bake Cheesecake

Whip evaporated milk until it is thickened and will hold a peak? Question. Do you whip it with the sugar or by itself? (10/08/2005)

RE: No Bake Cheesecake

Whip the "chilled" evaporated milk by itself. You ix the sugar with the cream cheese. Make sure you clean the beaters good before whipping the evaporated milk. You will want to use chilled beaters and bowl for best results. Susan from ThriftyFun (10/08/2005)

RE: No Bake Cheesecake

My recipe for no bake cheesecake makes a large size 9 by 13 pan which I make a graham cracker crust in before I start.

First put 1 can of evapopated milk in freezer to chill "not freeze" it won't work if frozen.

Small bowl~1 cup boiling water 1 3oz. pkg. lemon jello stir till disolved set aside to cool. Large bowl~ 2 8oz. pkg. cream cheese 3/4 cup sugar mix until well blended. When jello is cooled mix into cream cheese mixture.

Whip the evaporated milk until thick then gently fold it into cream cheese mixture. Pour into cooled graham cracker crust. (10/10/2005)
