It was a VERY simple cherry-cheesecake recipe, a no-bake one with just a few ingredients, primarily cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla and icing sugar. Can't remember if there was anything else. It was the first cheesecake I ever had, one of Philly Cream Cheese's first no-bake recipes, and Cool Whip topping wasn't even invented then. And I know there was no whipping cream in it. Can anybody out there help me out?? Taz Fri Sep 04 10:54:56 -0700 2009 84750 spazita 1 5005191 Can't find what you are looking for, but read that Cool Whip was introduced in 66 or 67- Are you sure it wasn't in there?

Fri Sep 04 12:24:17 -0700 2009 5005191 84750 spazita 1 5005194 if there was no cream or whipped topping, my guess is that it was a recipe that calls for either sweetened condensed milk or gelatin. is that possible? Fri Sep 04 11:12:26 -0700 2009 5005154 103920 goodhealthgourmet 1 5005344 Years ago, I made these little cheese cake cookies, Merry Cherry Cheese cake cookies, that weren't baked. The filling was probably this; Cream Cheese, sugar, orange peel, orange juice, (or lemon) light cream and the fruit you added was in this case chopped marachino cherries and topped with the cherries sliced in half. The crust was vanilla wafers. Sound close?

Fri Sep 04 13:29:39 -0700 2009 5005154 103920 goodhealthgourmet 2 5005886 In my part of the country, there's something called vinegar pie that has no cream cheese. It tastes as if it did. It, too, goes back to way before cool whip.

Mix until smooth, pour into crust, and chill. Fri Sep 04 23:52:19 -0700 2009 5005887 12384 boogiebaby 1 5005902 I googled and found one with sour cream and evap milk but no whipped/heavy or canned cream ....no bake http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1613,150189-252205,00.html Fri Sep 04 15:25:39 -0700 2009 5005154 11784 capeanne 1 5007949 I think it had Dream Whip. I'm not sure if that still exists. It was a powder (packets in a box) that you beat into milk to make a stable whipped topping. God knows what was in it.

I take people on 3 day kayak trips on The Maine Island Trail. Although I never cook it at home, please get ready, I'll cook for dessert, Jello no bake cheese cake, BUT I substitute yogurt for sour cream and a fresh strawberry or blueberry topping. After a day of paddling, eating it on a beautiful isolated island at sunset, tastes purtty damn good.
