Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Kitchen Aid Mixer or Handheld Mixer
  • Pot
  • 9x13 baking dish or dish of your choice

Ingredients
  

  • Graham Cracker Crust Ingredients:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs I usually use 2 packages of graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • Cheesecake Ingredients:
  • 2 packages of Dream Whip - prepared according to package instructions
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Fruit Topping Ingredients:
  • 2 - 16 oz bags of frozen fruit or can use 2-3 cups of fresh fruit
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Cornstarch OR jello/gelatin
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • Splash of lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Crush graham crackers. This can be done in a food processor or blender, or even place the graham crackers in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. After crushing the graham crackers, combine the crumbs, butter, and sugar and mix. Press into a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Mix the two packages of Dream Whip according to the package instructions. This is easiest to do with a kitchen aid mixer or hand-held mixer. Make sure to whip until it thickens and forms soft peaks. Move to a separate bowl to save for later.
  • Cream the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Combine Dream Whip and cream cheese mixture and fold together.
  • Fill the graham cracker crust with the mixture.
  • Place into the refrigerator to keep cool while making the fruit mixture.
  • In a saucepan, heat the frozen fruit over medium heat. Warm the fruit and use an immersion blender to blend the chunky fruit. (BE CAREFUL IF HOT!)
  • Bring the fruit to a boil.
  • Add the cornstarch (or jello), lemon juice, and sugar and whisk together.
  • Allow fruit mixture to cool and pour over cheesecake.
  • Chill dessert and serve cold. Enjoy!




Notes

You can use gluten-free graham crackers or pretzels for the crust
I have made this recipe using regular milk or almond milk.
