This turned out great. Really light and refreshing. The only change I made was to cut the sugar down to 1/2 a cup since we like our desserts less sweet and it was perfect. The texture is nice–sort of like a foamy mousse. I did make sure to chill the evaporated milk overnight and it whipped up fine for me. Great summertime dessert!

I did use the evaporated milk, but I think you are probably right, I didn’t let it get cold enough. I will definitely try again. Thanks for your comment. I’ll report back when I try this recipe again!

Hmm… not sure where you could have gone wrong. Two things could have been an issue.

1. Make sure you use Evaporated Milk and not Condensed Milk. They are not the same. My cousin made this mistake once before.

2. Make sure your milk is VERY cold. I has to be refrigerated at least overnight before using. Room temperature or slightly cooled milk will not work.

The poor texture you mention in your review is probably a result of the issues with the milk. (Personally I find the texture more light and foamy than light and fluffy.)

I hope others have better luck.

Very sorry, but this was not what I expected. I had my fingers crossed, and things looked promising when the cheesecake started to set. It just didn’t have the light fluffy texture I was hoping for. The other thing is that I couldn’t for the life of me get the evaporated milk to for stiff peaks. Hope others who make this have better luck than I did.

Good thing I made some fudge for Christmas Eve or we would have been desert(less).

Update…the cheesecake set and looks good. Can’t wait until we have it for desert tomorrow night for Christmas Eve.

I attempted to make this cheesecake because it sounded so yummy. I followed the recipe to the T, and could not get the evaporated milk to come to stiff peaks, and I tried and tried. Ended up adding the gelatin mixture to a slightly thickened evaported milk and added the cream cheese mixture. I am praying that the gelatin helps thicken the cheesecake, because right now it is in my refrigerator and not looking too good.
