Just tried out a new recipe and, though *I* think it still needs a little something (I like to "tweak" recipes to suit us even better), thought it would be nice to share. I don't recall where I got the recipe (I hand-copied it in one of my notebooks - I'm always finding recipes and such, especially if I have to sit in a waiting room - and copy them down to try). I am posting it as I copied it, but will say that I substituted a little, and when I make it again, will do more substitutions to "tweak" it. So here it is, without further ado!
Lemon Cheesecake
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
2 cups milk, divided
1 pkg (3.5 oz.) instant lemon pudding (I subbed French Vanilla here)
1 - 9 inch graham cracker pie crust (make your own or buy ready-made)
In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy. Add 1/2 cup of the milk, a small amount at a time, blending after each addition til mixture is very smooth.
Add remaining milk and the pudding mix. Beat for about 1 minute or until well mixed. Pour into crust. Chill one hour.
That's it! Easy! I will probably try adding some sugar next time, and maybe just a bit more cream cheese as well. I LOOOOOOVE cheesecake, as does DH. This one was good - we spooned cherry pie filling over it - but it could always be better! Let me know if you use the recipe and tell me if you "tweaked" it as well!  |
