How to Make No Bake Light Jello Cheesecake

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently fold in 1 (3 ounce) package of Jello (any flavor – strawberry, raspberry, or cherry work especially well).
  3. Crush 1 ½ cups of graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add 1/4 cup of melted butter and mix well.
  4. Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  7. Once set, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream and extra Jello pieces (optional) before serving and enjoy!
