    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! 

    Ingredients...

    You only need four ingredients to make this recipe:

    • Graham cracker crust
    • Cream cheese
    • Sweetened condensed milk
    • Lemon juice

    Brands...

    When it comes to eating with food allergies, the BRAND you use can be so important. It's especially important in this recipe. We've tried a lot of brands and if you're making this dairy free, the brand of dairy free cream cheese you use will be especially important. 

    • Cream Cheese: We used Kitehill plain cream cheese
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk: We used Nature's Charm sweetened condensed milk 
    • Graham Cracker Crust: Mi-Del has a gluten free graham cracker crust

    Storing...

    This cheesecake stays good covered for several days in the refrigerator.
