No Bake Cheesecake
![]() |
Every good cook has to start somewhere. Many little girls start with their Easy Bake Oven. They cook tiny food and pretend to cook like their mothers. Some girls watch their mothers as they cook meals and learn this way. Other little girls learn the best way; they learn by helping their mothers in the kitchen. Given the smallest task helps young girls and even boys learn to cook.
Many of the best chefs talk lovingly about cooking with their mothers and grandmothers. Paul Deen often reminds her audience to cook with their children. Cooking with children is a great bonding experience and a perfect activity that everyone enjoys. The best part is everyone gets to eat whatever is baked, fried, or mixed.
One of the best recipes for children to start making is anything that does not involve cooking or chopping. No one wants children working with knives until they are old enough to understand the danger. The same is true with stove tops and ovens. Except for the Easy Bake Oven, children should not be involved with hot ovens. The chance of a child getting burned is one risk no one wants to take.
Because desserts are every child's favorite afternoon snack, a no bake cheesecake is the perfect place to start. Even a no bake cheesecake will make everyone happy and impress even the most difficult critic. The no bake cheesecake is luscious and creamy just like the original and much more difficult cooked cheesecake. Another great reason to make the no bake cheesecake is that it only takes thirty minutes to cool. We all know the baked cheesecake takes forever to cool. From mixing to cooling, the whole process takes less than an hour. There are many no bake cheesecake recipes. Finding the best one is quite easy even without a cookbook. The Internet is a perfect place to look for no bake cheesecake recipes. Print out a few and let your child choose the best one.
The easiest part of the no bake cheesecake is the already baked graham cracker crust. These crusts are available at any grocery store or market. You can always make your own crust, but the bought crust is almost as good and fool proof. The final product will look more professional and make your child so proud. The crusts are pretty inexpensive so you can make the whole no bake cheesecake for very little money.
The first step is to leave an 8 oz. block of cream cheese out on the counter for at least an hour until it is softened. Using a mixer, either hand or counter, beat the cream cheese until it is fluffy. Then add a can of Eagle Brand milk to the cream cheese mixture. Make sure you use only sweetened condensed milk. You may use another brand of condensed milk but you cannot use evaporated milk or plain milk. You have to use sweetened condensed milk or your no bake cheesecake will be a disaster. This recipe doesn't have any added sugar because the milk adds creaminess and the incredibly wonderful sweetness of the no bake cheesecake.
The next step is to stir in one third cup fresh lemon juice. You can use Real Lemon if you don't want the aggravation of juicing lemons, but the fresh lemon does taste better. Add one half cup sour cream and mix well. Make sure that all ingredients are mixed well and there are no lumps. Then you are ready to pour the mixture into the pie crust. You can serve the no bake cheese with or without a topping. If you want a topping, choose Cool Whip or a nice canned pie mix. You can even use fresh fruit. Making this no bake cheese cake with your children is a great experience and eventually they can make it on their own. Cook with your kids; everyone will be the better for the experience.
