Get recipe:divascancook.com This no bake cheesecake recipe was printed on a can of sweetened condensed milk back in the day. My grandmother made the hell out of it to the point I got sick of it. I can see why she loved it so much. It comes together in minutes with only 4 ingredients and taste sooooo divine! I was craving this childhood throwback so I whipped some up for my fam. Now I’m back in love with this creamy, sweet, tart and decadent no bake cheesecake. I’ve already made it twice this month and have plans to make it again with a shortbread cookie crust and a lemon raspberry glaze. Music by Kevin Macleod
