Cream cheese cake

by Don  

While I was growing up, my mom made this dessert fairly frequently, although with a recipe twice the size. My version makes 4-6 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups of milk
  • 4 oz of cream cheese, softened, broken into smaller pieces
  • 3.4 oz of lemon instant pudding mix
  • 8 graham crackers
  • 1 cup of butter, melted

Method

  1. Crush the graham crackers. Mix with butter. Press in the bottom of a 6"x8" container.
  2. Pour milk in blender. Blend on low. Add cream cheese piece by piece.
  3. Add pudding mix till blended.
  4. Pour pudding mix in container. Chill in fridge till it comes to the consistency of firm pudding.

I liked this. The crust was too hard, though. Next time I should try 6 graham crackers and 1/4 cup of butter. It will be more crumbly, but easier to scoop out of the pan.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups of milk
  • 4 oz of cream cheese, softened, broken into smaller pieces
  • 3.4 oz of lemon instant pudding mix
  • 6 graham crackers
  • 3 tbsp of butter, melted

Method

  1. Crush the graham crackers. Mix with butter. Press in the bottom of a 6"x8" container. This will be pretty loose. Don't add much more butter or the crust will be too stiff to scoop out neatly.
  2. Pour milk in blender. Blend on low. Add cream cheese piece by piece.
  3. Add pudding mix till blended.
  4. Pour pudding mix in container. Chill in fridge till it comes to the consistency of firm pudding.

This turned out great. Next time I'll try 4 tbsp of butter.
