Aunt Joan's No Bake Cheesecake

This recipe has been a family favorite for many, MANY years. My aunt "borrowed" it from the lunch counter she was working at the time. Simple and very good. Cook time = chilling time.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 16

Ingredients

• Crust

• 2  cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1⁄2 cup butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine, melted
• 1⁄2 cup sugar

• Cheesecake

• 4  ounces Jello gelatin, whatever flavor you prefer
• 10  ounces boiling water
• 8  ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1  cup sugar
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, whipped

Directions

1. Mix crumbs, butter and 1/2 cup sugar until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
2. Dissolve 4 oz jello (1 - 3 oz pkg + 2 T from another), in 10 oz boiling water.
3. Blend together cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and vanilla and add to jello.
