Jello Cheesecake image

This recipe has been handed down through my family, orignating with my Aunt Marie. It is easy to make; you can choose any flavor jello you want, and the texture is so creamy. The favorite flavors in our home have been strawberry and lemon. Important note: Remember to dissolve the jello in only 1 cup of boiling water. Don't...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

FOR THE BOTTOM CRUST:
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 c brown sugar
FOR THE FILLING:
1 box 4 oz. jello, you choose the flavor!
1 c boiling water
1 pkg 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 pkg dream whip

Steps:

  • 1. PREPARE CRUST: Blend crust ingredients together. Press into buttered 9 x 9 inch pan. Chill. You may want to save a few crumbs to garnish the top. it may be a little thick--see my photos of the triple layer jello cheesecake. Adjust to your liking.
  • 2. PREPARE THE FILLING: Prepare Dream Whip according to package directions. Keep in refrigerator until ready to use. Dissolve Jello in hot water and cool to room temperature. DO NOT FOLLOW PACKAGE DIRECTIONS FOR JELLO! ONLY USE 1 CUP HOT WATER! Beat sugar and cream cheese together. Mix cooled Jello into cheese mixture. Fold in prepared Dream Whip. Pour into pan and chill until set.
  • 3. NOTE: Often I double the recipe, and then you can put it in a 9 x 13 pan. If you use purchased graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 package is plenty for a 9 x 9 pan; a full package is plenty for a 9 x 13 pan.
  • 4. I started experimenting with layered flavors. I used a 10" square springform pan, but you can use any type of pan you prefer. All I did was make three different filling recipes, like cherry, lime, and lemon. Make the first, pour it on the crust; put it in the refrigerator. By the time you make the second, the first will be set and you can gently pour it on top, refrigerate it, and prepare the third.
  • 5. It's not only pretty, but whatever flavors you combine are delicious and cut a little of the sweetness down. Very flavorful and fun! Two layers would work, too; play with it and have fun!

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was nice and crumbly, and the cheesecake filling was smooth and creamy. I think I would try using a different type of Jello next time, maybe something a little less sw
