    We make this all the time in my family.

    We usually omit the cream cheese and just whip the evaporated milk so it has the consistency of an ambrosia salad.

    Exchange the graham crackers for vanilla wafers.
    Use 3/4 cup of orange juice to dissolved the jello instead of water
    use juice from 1 fresh lemon
    add 6oz pineapple juice

    put in fridge for 3-4 hours

    We had Christmas early yesterday and I made this for dessert. I changed it up and put it in a graham cracker crust. I had enough fluffy stuff for another pie but didn't have another crust so I just saved it. I also made a fresh blueberry sauce to spoon over it. It was a big hit! I added my picture, too.

    Our Woolworths didn't have a food counter, so I can't say that this brings back old memories, but no-bakes are my favorite! Can't ask for one much easier and more tasty than this. Thanks for sharing the recipe! (Instead of making it in a 9x13 pan, I used individual foil loaf pans and am going to try freezing some for future use.)

    I remember Woolsworth's cheesecake. I also remember their burgers and fries. Fond memories with my Mom when she was alive and well. Thanks for this.
