Good Cheesecake
- 1 12 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 24 crackers)
- 14 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, melted
- 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry Jell-O gelatin dessert
- 1 cup boiling water
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, chilled
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Crust:.
- Combine graham crumbs and sugar.
- Stir in butter until crumb mixture is moistened.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of crumbs for topping, if desired.
- Press into the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan.
- If you desire, you can bake it at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes (I prefer it unbaked).
- Cheesecake:.
- Dissolve jello in boiling water.
- Beat in cream cheese.
- Chill jello mixture 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Or put in the freezer to chill while the evaporated milk is being beaten.
- Beat evaporated milk until stiff.
- Add sugar and vanilla.
- Fold gelatin mixture into the whipped milk mixture.
- Pour over graham cracker crust in 9" x 13" pan.
- Chill for 3 to 4 hours.
- Notes: 1) Cooking time is chilling time.
- 2) You can use whatever flavor of jello you like.
- We just happen to prefer the strawberry, although lemon is yummy, too.
