Ingredients

For the graham cracker crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs;
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted.

For the Woolworth Cheesecake:

  • 1 package (3 oz) lemon Jell-O;
  • 1 cup boiling water;
  • 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature;
  • 1 cup granulated sugar;
  • 5 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice;
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold;
  • graham cracker crumbs, for topping.

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together lemon Jell-O and boiling water. Mix until lemon Jell-o dissolves. Set aside.
  • Prepare the crust. Mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Add the crumble mixture to the 9x13 inch baking pan. Then, press the crumbly mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create a crust.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until fluffy. Set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice using an electric mixer. Beat until smooth. Then, pour a chilled mixture of lemon Jell-O into a bowl. Beat until well combined. Add whipped cream and mix until combined.
  • Transfer the cream cheese mixture to the prepared baking pan with a graham cracker crust. Spread evenly. Then, sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs. Chill the Woolworth Cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. You can also refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. Then, slice and serve.
