Glenda's No-Bake Cheesecake

Glenda’s Cheesecake (no-bake)

Ingredients:

2 ½ C Flour
1 ¼ C margarine or butter, softened
2/3 C Brown Sugar 1st (bottom) and 4th (top) layers
2/3 C chopped nuts, we use walnuts

12 oz Cream cheese, softened
1 C powdered sugar
2 pkg. Dream Whip (found by the jello/ 2nd layer, on top of crumb crust pudding mixes)
Milk (amounts according to Dream whip pkg.)
Vanilla (amounts as Dream whip pkg. instructs)

1 Danish Dessert (also by the jello and we
use strawberry, but raspberry 3rd layer, on cream cheese filling
is also yummy.)
1 pkg. frozen berries (matching the flavor
of your Danish dessert)



Directions:

Cream brown sugar and margarine. Add flour and nuts. Press into a 9x13 pan and bake 12-15 minutes at 350. Take out of oven and cool. When cool enough to handle, crumble the baked mixture. Leave ½ of mix in pan and save ½ in a bowl for later.

Cream powdered sugar and cream cheese. Prepare 2 pkgs of dream whip as listed on the box. Combine together and spread over crumbles in the pan. Place in freezer.

Prepare Danish Dessert as instructed on the package using mix and similar frozen berries. Spread cooled Danish Dessert over the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle saved crumbs on top and chill.

Hints: I usually just use 16 oz. of cream cheese for filling. This dessert is hard to maintain. Meaning, it needs more than refrigeration but if placed in the freezer, the Danish dessert part becomes icy and hard to eat. So, I usually make the Danish part close to serving time and try to avoid freezing it before serving. If you have to freeze it, you can always microwave it for a few seconds at 50% of the power level.

Sorry this is all so complicated. It’s actually not as hard as it’s sounding and it’s definitely worth it!
