Uncooked Lemon Cheesecake

This recipe is a favorite with the family of my team mate Jen T from New Zealand. I made this for the July Aussie/NZ recipe swap. It's a favorite with my family too! Super easy to put together. Gone in a flash!

Uncooked Lemon Cheesecake
1 graham cracker crust

Filling:
1 (14 1/8 oz) evaporated milk ( I made my own ) well chilled
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup hot water
5 TBSP lemon juice - may not need it all
3 oz lemon jello

Dissolve jello in hot water and make up to 1 cup with lemon juice. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla well. Beat evaporated milk until very thick in a large bowl.
Add cheese and sugar mixture and beat in well. Add in lemon jello and beat well. Pour into graham cracker crust and refrigerate overnight - or at least 8-10 hours.

I am thinking some other tasty variations could include:
orange, raspberry, lime or strawberry
