My grandmother always made this wonderfully light and airy cheesecake and it requires no baking other than the graham cracker crust. I'm always asked for the recipe and even those that don't care for cheesecake love this. You can cut this recipe in half very easily, although I use a smaller pan so it fills the cake pan to the top.

Milnot is special. It isn't just evaporated milk. I've made the cheesecake for years. It is light and fluffy. However, if you try to make it now you will be disappointed. When I made it the last 2 times I couldn't get it to whip, even after having everything cold. The taste was the same but it was only half as fluffy. Yesterday I called the company and asked if they had changed the ingredients. She said yes! The government regulations had made them change the soy liquid to palm oil to eliminate the transfat so it will no longer whip. There is nothing you can do about it.

Original Milnot is no longer "original"!

This recipe is great. But it is just plain old evaporated milk - not sweetened condensed. It whips up more than you would think possible and is a very light dessert. Give it a try.
