Hi Cathy, I searched for this recipe for years! I found it! I thought I would share it with you! I just loved their light and fluffy cheesecake with a hint of lemon. If you have any questions, just let me know! Chris from Wisconsin
Woolworth's Ice Box Cheese Torte Yield: 12-16 servings
1 (3-oz.) pkg. lemon-flavored gelatin 1 cup boiling water 1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 tall can (13-oz.) Milnot, whipped 3 cups Graham cracker crumbs (or less if desired) 1/2 cup butter or margerine, melted
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Chill until slightly thickened (I chill this until it is the consistency of an uncooked egg white).
Cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add the gelatin and blend well. Fold in stiffly whipped Milnot(this can be done with and electric mixer).
Mix Graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together; pack 2/3 of the mixture on bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch pan (or larger). Add filling and sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Chill several hours or overnight.
Cut into squares and serve plain (my favorite way) or garnished with fruit.
I have never tried using any other type of canned evaporated milk as Milnot is what the recipe calls for. It is a different type of canned milk. If you can not find Minot in your area, they have a website where you can purchase it www.milnot.com. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. I also have tried using a different flavored jello like strawberry and cherry - I didn't like it as much as with the original lemon flavor. Enjoy!
