No-Bake Cheesecake

This no-bake cheesecake is delicious and so quick and easy to make!

The filling is from Martha Stewart Kids and the gram cracker crust is from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook.  I used Fannie Farmer’s crust because it used less butter.

You will need,

For the crust,

1 1/2 cups gram cracker crumbs

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

For the filling,

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Step one:  In a bowl, put 1 1/2 cups of gram cracker crumbs and 1/3 cup sugar together.

Step two:  Add 1/3 cup melted butter.

Step three:  Mix all three ingredients together.

Step four:  Press the crumb mixture into a 9 inch springform pan.  Put the gram cracker crust into the freezer for at least 10 minutes.

Step five:  Put the 2 8-ounce softened packages of cream cheese into a bowl. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Step six:  In small batches, add the sweetened condensed milk.  Stir well in between batches.

I forgot to take a picture of this step. Sorry!

Step seven:  Add 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step eight:  Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Smooth over with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Enjoy!

I certainly did!
