Servings 12 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 oz. package lemon Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk, chilled

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, dissolve the lemon Jell-O in boiling water. Let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  • While the Jell-O cools, mix 3/4 of the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a medium bowl.
  • Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Set aside. Reserve the remaining graham cracker crumbs for topping.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the chilled evaporated milk until whipped and fluffy, about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lemon juice together until smooth.
  • Add the slightly thickened Jell-O to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
  • Gently fold in the whipped evaporated milk until the filling is light and evenly mixed.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
  • Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top.
  • Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • Slice, serve cold, and enjoy.

Notes

For the fluffiest texture, make sure the evaporated milk is very cold before whipping. Overnight chilling gives this cheesecake the cleanest slices and best flavor.
