RICH NO BAKE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients for crust, and press crumbs into bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
• Bake at 350° for 5 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Dissolve jello in boiling water and chill until it thickens (syrupy).
• In large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until creamy.
• On low speed, beat the jello into cream cheese mixture.
• In separate small bowl, beat the whipping cream and 2 tbs sugar and fold into jello/cream cheese mixture.
• Pour in crust and chill until set-about 1 1/2 hours.
• I don't know about using the unflavored gelatin and lemon juice. I would imagine that if you keep the liquid in the same quantities, you should be fine. One packet of gelatin dissolved in 1 cup of boiling water-just make sure its all dissolved. I would start with 1 tbs of lemon juice and taste and go from there. You will also need to add a sweetner of some sort to balance the tartness of the lemon. (added 5-5-04) B
