If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can see the entire recipe. I don’t have a substitution to use a can of carnation milk.

This recipe uses lemon gelatin. It gives a slight lemon flavor to the cheesecake, but isn’t overwhelming. Strawberry is an interesting choice. You could use water in place of the lemon juice, use 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and the rest water, or you could macerate strawberries to get the juice (be sure to strain so you don’t get strawberry chunks.) You’ll have to let me know if you try this and if it works. I’m intrigued.

I’ve made this recipe twice now and my only problem is not to use 3 cups of graham cracker crumbs. It makes it too crumbly on the bottom, no matter how tight I pack it. I use a little extra butter and put the crust in the refrigerator while everything else is making And it’s still too crumbly so the next time I make it, I’m not going to use as much graham crackers otherwise it’s awesome.

A tin of evaporated milk is used, not whipping cream. You put the can of milk in the freezer for 2 hours, take it out, open it and using a spoon to chunk it out into your large cake mixer bowl and whip it til it has trippled in volume. You cannot taste the ‘canned milk’ taste in the finished dessert.

Yes, you can freeze Woolworths cheesecake by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then storing it in an airtight container. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving for best results.
