Woolworth's Lemon Cheesecake: Easy No Bake Recipe 

Omg! I used to work there when I was a teen; I'm 60 and have been looking for this recipe since then. Woo-hoo! I am happy happy happy. It was Worth the wait. Get it? Woolworth. 🤣

Omg I Wish They Were Still In Business I Remember Going There As A Child Great Food &Memories!!!!

The original recipe calls for 1 stick of butter mixed with 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and then pressed into the 9x13 pan. The butter is a must to get the same taste and consistency of the crust. I guess if you're trying to make this as a lower fat dessert, then leaving out the butter will work but you will also leave behind some of the buttery taste that goes well with the rest of the ingredients and a majority of the dry crumbs will be left behind in the cake pan when you serve it. You need to beat the whipped cream until stiff peaks appear (similar to meringue) Also, You DO want to beat the cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice on medium/high speed until smooth... Then fold the mixture together with the jello and whipped cream. You can then dump it onto the crust and spread it.. You do not have to be careful doing this part, nor do you need to do a little bit at a time.. This is a very light and not too sweet dessert, hence the reason they cut it into somewhat larger pieces.

Yum this brings back childhood memories 🥰

My first job was as a waitress at Woolworths. Love that cheesecake. Thanks for the recipe

I'm crying right now. My mom used to make this all the time. Such a great recipe for the summer. Thank you for sharing.

This was a tradition for me and my mom when I was young , we would go , it was our special time love this stuff

This was The Harvey House recipe before Woolworth's. From around turn of century, Harvey House was a big deal and at train stations. I've been making this for decades and it makes 2 9x13 pans.

Every time we went to town we would go. to Woolworth for cheese cake. Fries with gravy too lol

I remember, when went Kansas that was the first place we would go for cheesecake. 😍

Thank you

My mom always made this cheesecake. However, she put 6 tbsp of melted butter in the Graham cracker crumbs and pressed them to the bottom and up the sides of a nine-inch springform pan. My mom also added 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs.

I do remember them, they grilled the hot dogs and buns soooo good

Yes so good! It was my mom's best dessert, everyone loved it. Although she made with Milnot evaporated milk and there is a difference. I can't find that milk, and I don't have regular evap milk, so will have to use heavy whipping cream.

lol mom use to take me downtown shopping and we always stopped at woolworths for lunch and yes a hamburger, that was soaked in gravy, french fries and a piece of this cheesecake i was only 6 maybe but i remember it like yesterday the restaurant was on the top floor and the 2nd floor had things to buy thats where we got the best popcorn multiflavored some licorice coated some orange some lemon etc long time ago im 58 lol my mom is here now looking at the recipe and laughing about going back then i got a new pair of white paten shoes there lol

Thank you for this recipe..Does anyone happen to have recipe similar to this but with the crushed pineapple in it?? Thank you...Merry Christmas everyone as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus✝️💖⛄🎄

Where did you get your double mixer i would like to get one 😊

My filling didn’t get thick so it’s sitting in the frig a while. So far, I’m disappointed. U didn’t say how u made graham crackers into powder, nor how long to freeze them. Thx for posting. I really liked Woolworth’s cheesecake back in the day

I bet it was about 10 cents a slice today in 2024 it would be about 5 dollars a slice😊

thanks, can't wait to make. What is that no cover mixer called

2?s where did you get that double mixer, and your glasses, want both. lol

5 1/3 T = 1/3 cup

I don't know if I missed this , but how much cream cheese do you use

how much sugar

Hello I was not able to find your website. Could you please send it to me? Thank you! Anna

If I didn't want to make a lemon flavored one could I use vanilla pudding mix instead?

Is that lemon jello or lemon gelatine? N I assume there is a difference?

HHOW MUCH WATER DID YOU USE ON LEMON GELLATIN AND HOW MUCH SUGAR WAS USED

how much sugar into this

My evaporated milk didn’t fluff up like that

Come to the point

soooo bad recipe
