Fluffy Milnot Cheesecake image

My grandmother always made this wonderfully light and airy cheesecake and it requires no baking other than the graham cracker crust. I'm always asked for the recipe and even those that don't care for cheesecake love this. You can cut this recipe in half very easily, although I use a smaller pan so it fills the cake pan to the top.
