Nearly Instant Cheesecake Pudding Recipe

We planned on a nearly instant no-bake cheesecake. But we didn't actually get a recipe for it, we discussed what might work and tried that.  It didn't work as cheesecake but works wonderful well as cheesecake pudding which TG has decided she actually prefers.

Nearly Instant Cheesecake Pudding
Makes 8 half cup servings

2 8 oz bricks of Philadelphia Cream Cheese- let soften
1 3.4 oz box Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cup milk

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl or into individual serving bowls. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until soft set (about a half hour)


For the topping:
Crush 4 full sheet graham crackers, melt 2 Tbsp of butter, combine. Sprinkle over top. I served it with canned cherry pie filling and graham crackers. It was nicely sweet and cool enough for a summer treat.

I love cheesecake and love pudding! Since this can all be done without using the stove or oven, it's a wonderful dessert!
