Easy No-Bake Cheesecake {Chow Hall Monday #3}

Tweet

It's Monday and y'all know what this means....it's another edition of Chow Hall Monday :)  For those who are aren't familiar with Chow Hall Mondays, here's the skinny on them.  Every other Monday here on the blog, I like to shine the spot light on one special Military family and their recipe of choice.

During our last Chow Hall Monday, we were blessed to have Amy Crane, who is married to her soldier-hubby John, share her recipe for Taco Casserole.  

Y'all will not believe this, but this week we've been blessed with John's mother, Janice, and her contribution for their family's recipe for Easy No-Bake Cheesecake.  

I'll let Janice take over now :)

*********************************************************

 I am a mother to 4 adult children and 6 grandchildren with 1 on the way!  We home educated our 4 children, which includes our youngest son, John.  John joined the U.S. Army in the fall of 2009. He is an Aircraft Structural Repairer and is currently stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX.  John is a Specialist and is currently slated to begin preparing for an upcoming deployment.  He is married and they are expecting a baby in October.  

Our son, John, in his teens took a liking to having dessert after our meals.  On a more regular basis than was normal. He had developed a love for Cherry Cheesecake.  On occasion I would get a box mix so he could have some. This became rather frequent and didn't make very much.  I began searching for an alternative.  I found this recipe, I have no clue where I found it as it's been many years ago.  It is quick, easy, and makes more than a box mix and is richer.  

Easy No-Bake Cheesecake

1-ready made Graham Cracker Crust

This looks like such a yummy and easy recipe!  I'm loving the fact that you can top it with any pie filling of your choice ;)

Major thanks go out to Janice and her daughter-in-law, Amy for contributing their recipes and sharing their stories about their number one soldier, John.  Thoughts and prayers go out to John and his family as he makes his way through his upcoming deployment.
