Quick Lemon Chiffon Cheesecake Recipes

LEMON 'CHIFFON' CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• To prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Press mixture onto the bottom of a 9- or 10-inch springform pan (if you have enough, press up the sides a little, too). Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• To prepare the filling: Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl, combine Jell-O and boiling water, stirring well to combine. Add lemon juice and allow to cool.
• With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and add to the cooled Jell-O mixture.
• Whip the evaporated milk until it holds peaks and gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
• Pour into graham cracker crust, smooth the top and refrigerate for 4 or more hours, or until set.
• NOTE: The evaporated milk needs to be very cold. Ann Schoenberg refrigerates it the night before. If you are not that organized, you can put it in the freezer for a few hours (don't forget about it). For added lemon flavor, add some zest to the mixture. You can also refrigerate the crust instead of baking it.
