Delicious, light and lemony, the dessert is easy to prepare. Perfect to take with you to your next pot luck party, or to make just for your family – they’ll thank you.
In an oven-baked cheesecake, the tangy lemon juice is softened by the heat of the oven. In this lemon cheesecake recipe from Cook’s Country, they had to use lemon juice to compensate. Lemon curd, a rich and tangy spread made with eggs, butter, cream, sugar and lemon juice, added a crisp lemon flavour without the unwanted “chewing” of the lemon zest or the transformed flavour of the lemon extract. Using lemon cookies instead of graham crackers for the crust created an extra layer of lemon flavor.
Ingredients :
1 package (3 ounces) lemon jelly
1 cup boiling water
8 ounces of cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 12 oz can of Carnation Evaporated Milk, well refrigerated
Graham crackers, crushed
Itinerary :
Dissolve the Jell-O in boiling water. Allow to cool until it thickens slightly.
Beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Add the thickened jelly and beat well.
In another bowl, beat the Carnation milk until frothy. Add the cream cheese and jelly mixture and beat well with a mixer.
Line the bottom of 9 x 13 pans with crushed graham crackers.
Spread the filling and cover with crushed graham crackers. Cool.

My mom used to make this. You forgot to include the stick of butter needs to be melted and added to the Graham crackers to make the crust and baked before adding the jello mixture, saving some to sprinkle on top.
How long do you bake the graham cracker crust? Temperature?
Exactly! I wondered how the crumbs would stay together…lol
You keep saying Lemon jelly…..Not lemon jello.???
I thought it was a no bake recipe?
That’s what the receipt did say “No” Bake
The inside is no bake. The crust you bake for 10 min at 350.n

My mother use to make this. Still my favorite. I never bake the crust.
My mom made this often when I was growing up. I make it frequently. Have never baked the crust. Just mix graham crackers with a stick of melted butter, pat gently in the dish, pour cheesecake on top and refrigerate.
How many Graham crackers please
Graham cracker crust also needs a little sugar mixed in with the butter n cracker crumbs.
mix 3 tbs melted butter in graham crackers and press into baking dish and chill, No baking needed
