History...

When my first husband and I were dating, I was invited to his house for Sunday dinner. Being a college student who couldn't cook at the time, I jumped at the idea of a good home cooked meal. This no bake cheesecake was always one of their family's favorite desserts. And one of the few cheesecakes I enjoyed eating on a semi-regular basis.

I've tried a few dairy free versions using dairy free cream cheese, and I haven't really been that impressed. A friend told me about a new brand of dairy free cream cheese. I tried it and my fork continues to get a workout!

• Graham cracker crust
