The house still had pretty much everything still in it\u2026from old dressers, books, dishes, toys, and<!--more--> magazines. Everything was antique and pretty much falling apart, but there were a few things we saved just for kicks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Including this recipe. We found it in a timeworn Family Circle Magazine that came out when my Mom was only 2 years old. Kind of crazy. But when we leafed through it, this recipe looked so great we just had to try it. It was altered a bit from the original, but barely. The recipe is pretty healthy, but there are a couple ingredients like the organic sugar or cool-whip that I try to keep \u201cjust for special\u201d. Like I always say, it\u2019s all about balance.\u00a0 Dessert keeps us balanced. For sure.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"recipeTitle\">No Bake Cheesecake<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"recipe\">\n<li>2 envelopes Knox unflavoured gelatin<\/li>\n<li>1 cup organic sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. sea salt<\/li>\n<li>2 egg yolks<\/li>\n<li>1 cup organic rice milk<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. grated lemon rind<\/li>\n<li>3 cups cottage cheese (blended)<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp. melted butter<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. organic sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup graham cracker crumbs<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. nutmeg<\/li>\n<li>2 egg whites<\/li>\n<li>1 cup light Cool Whip<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"No Bake Cheesecake 02\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/No-Bake-Cheesecake-02-446x600.jpg\" alt=\"No Bake Cheesecake 02\" width=\"446\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/No-Bake-Cheesecake-02-446x600.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/No-Bake-Cheesecake-02.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mix together the gelatin, sugar, and salt in a double boiler.<\/p>\n<p>Beat together the egg yolks and rice milk; add to gelatin mixture. Cook over boiling water, stirring consistantly until gelatin is dissolved and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from heat; add the lemon rid; cool.<\/p>\n<p>Blend cottage cheese. Then add in lemon juice and vanilla to the cottage cheese. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.<\/p>\n<p>While mixture is chilling, make crumb topping by mixing the melted butter, 1 tbsp. sugar, graham crumbs, and the spices together. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Fold egg whites, stiffly beaten and add the Cool Whip into chilled gelatin mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Get out a 9&#8243; spring form pan. Press crumb mixture in bottom of the pan. Turn in gelatin mixture. Chill until firm.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great recipe to have when you have company over\u2026it\u2019s just one of those desserts that easily impress. I think there would be a lot of flexibility with the flavours that you could add as well\u2026I could easily see this being vanilla almond, chocolate, lime, or maybe mango.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to you and your imagination.
