Graham Cracker Crust Substitute

I am a blessed lady to have a whole family making sure that I still get my desserts :) This idea came thanks to one of my dear grandmas.

When she makes desserts that call for a graham cracker crust, she crunches up rice cereal (like Rice Crispies, an off-brand of them, or Rice Chex) and uses them in place of graham crackers in the crust.  It's simple, tastes good (albeit a little different) and best of all, makes it safe for me to eat. It's especially good with her homemade no-bake cheesecake!

Grandma's Refrigerator Cheesecake
Crust:
2 cups rice ceral crumbs*
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter

Mix together and pack on bottom of 9x13 pan or set aside to layer in parfait dishes
*May use cocoa crispies or fruity pebbles for this crust - depending on what the filling is. Omit extra sugar as the cereal is plenty sweetened.

Filling:
1 box lemon jello
1 cup sugar
8 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
1 can evaporated milk or 1 1/2 - 2 Cups whipping cream

Dissolve jello in 4-5 oz hot water and cool with 4-5 oz cold water.
Cool till syrupy.
Mix in sugar and cream cheese.
Beat until smooth.
Whip evaporated milk or cream until fluffy.
Add to cream cheese mixture.
Fold together and pour onto crust or layer with crust in parfait dishes.
Refrigerate and serve when chilled to taste.
