No Bake Lemon Cheesecake

How to make homemade No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake made with jello, sweetened condensed milk, and a few other ingredients!No Bake Lemon Cheesecake | I Heart Recipes

Hey folks! I don’t know what it is about the summer, but I’m always craving lemon desserts. One of my favorite lemon desserts would have to be a no-bake lemon cheesecake.No Bake Lemon Cheesecake | I Heart Recipes

Whenever I make my semi homemade no bake lemon cheesecake, I keep it simple. I use a few simple ingredients, and I cheat by using a store bought graham cracker crust.

My no-bake lemon cheesecake recipe consists of lemon Jello( plus hot water), sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, a dash of vanilla, and cream cheese. I simply mix everything  until it’s nice and creamy, then pour the no-bake lemon cheesecake filling into the graham cracker crust.

Once the filling is in the crust, I smooth everything out, then I cover the cheesecake. My next step is to refrigerate it, for a minimum of 4 hours. Once done I simply serve & enjoy!

Again, this cheesecake is super easy to whip up. Be sure to check out my video tutorial below for a demonstration!

    Hi Rosie. I’m going to try this recipe. Do you think it will be ok to use sugar Jello? Thanks for sharing all your delicious recipes. I’ve tried a lot of them but haven’t regularly taken time to comment.

    Hi Rosie. Do you think using sugar free jello would work?

      Yes, that would be a different recipe. This recipe should not be baked.

        Damn the comment above is dumb as hell. Why would you bake something that clearly says NO BAKE. You have a lot of patience Rosie. The recipe was delicious.

      You need to measure it with a liquid measuring cup.

    Hi Rosie,

    If I froze this cheesecake, would it be solid enough to withstand in the middle of two cake layers?

      I’ve never tried that. I’d hate to give you the wrong answer.
