How to Make Milnot Cheesecake

  1. Dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of Jell-O in 1/2 cup of boiling water.
  2. Let the Jell-O mixture cool completely to room temperature.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the cooled Jell-O mixture until well combined.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 (13.4 ounce) can of chilled Milnot evaporated milk with chilled beaters until light and fluffy (this is crucial!).
  6. Gently fold the whipped Milnot into the Jell-O and cream cheese mixture.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  8. Pour the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust.
  9. Sprinkle the top with an additional 1/4 cup of graham cracker crumbs.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
