Glutenfree, Cornfree, Soyfree, Ricefree No-bake Cheesecake

[RDR]

Hi, all! I just made a pretty tasty No-Bake Cheesecake and thought I'd share it here as it's one of my few recipes to come out right every time (according to non-celiac gluten eaters ). Here's the recipe , hope you like

Glutenfree, Cornfree, Soyfree, Ricefree No-Bake Cheesecake

For filling:

8 oz cream cheese (I use Horizon Organic which does not contain citric acid, room temperature))

1/4 C white granulated sugar or equivalent sugar substitute

2 - 4 tablespoons lemon juice (by taste)

4 - 6 tablespoons milk (by taste, the less used the sweeter the sugar will be)

1. In a small bowl mix the sugar, lemon juice and milk till it forms a syrup-like paste.

2. Put cream cheese in a larger bowl

3. Add sugar mixture to the cream cheese (with a handmixer on lowest speed), beat on low until a smooth, yet still thick pudding consistancy. Don't overmix or you'll get a fluffy airy whipped topping (like a chiffon) instead.

Pie crust:

1/2 box/bag gluten-free cookies (I use Shabtai Gourmet Ladyfingers)

2 tablespoons shortening (I stick to plain butter here, room temperature)

2 -4 tablespoons milk

4. crush cookies by hand into small chunks

5. add in shortening, mix by hand till it becomes a grainy almost dough-like consistency.

6. add milk a tablespoon at a time until it becomes more dough-like, less grainy.

7. press into an 8" pie pan evenly

8. pour cheese mixture into pie crust

9. top (optional) if you'd like with canned pie filling, preserves, whipped topping, cookie crumbs or any other topping you'd like. If using it untopped I'd suggest doubling the filling recipe for a higher/thicker cheesecake.

10. refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

11. Eat and enjoy

Could you be a little more specific on the 1/2 box cookie measurement? There are a variety of sizes of cookie boxes. I'd love to make this for Easter!

IAmSara:

I use a 4oz box of cookies (ladyfingers) about 5"x7" (20 cookies total, I use 10 for the crust). I've made it with cookies the size of Nana's too (3" diameter sugar cookies too and it only took 6). The Shabtai Gourmet Ladyfingers taste the best but the sugar cookies were good too.
