Woolworth Icebox Cheesecake Recipe is a light and fluffy, no-bake dessert with a hint of lemon flavor on top of a graham cracker icebox cake. I also have a Strawberry Icebox Cheesecake version! Or, you could crush sheets of graham crackers.
You will need about 14 full sheets of graham crackers for 2 cups of crumbs. Cream Cheese: Be sure the cream cheese is at room temperature when creaming with the sugar. You could even try other flavors of jello! Evaporated Milk: Evaporated milk is super-concentrated milk that helps give the dessert filling its creamy texture.
It should not be confused with sweetened condensed milk, which has added sugar. They should not be used interchangeably in recipes. Be sure to chill the can of evaporated milk in the freezer for about 30 minutes before using. If you looked at the recipe below, you may notice the first instruction is to chill the bowl of a stand mixer, the whisk attachment, and the can of evaporated milk. If you are finding that the evaporated milk is not forming peaks, you can place the entire bowl with the contents into the freezer for 15-30 minutes and then re-whip. You’ll know it is ready to whip again when there are ice crystals on the bowl. Do not leave it longer than 30 minutes.
