How to Make Glorious Cheesecake

  1. Chill the evaporated milk (1 can, 12 oz) in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Also chill your mixing bowl and beaters for easier whipping.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs (1 ½ cups) with melted unsalted butter (6 tablespoons) until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, dissolve Jello (3 oz package, any flavor, but lemon or lime recommended) in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and let cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese (16 oz, softened) with granulated sugar (1 cup) and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the cooled Jello mixture.
  6. Whip the chilled evaporated milk with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped evaporated milk into the Jello cream cheese mixture.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs (½ cup) over the top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
