Answer 2

I have a really yummy recipe that a friend gave me. It's a baked cheesecake but my husband likes the no-bake kind better so sometimes I'll fix that kind.

Baked Cheesecake

Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees

For the Crust
1 pack graham crackers (crushed)
2 tbs sugar
1/4 cup melted butter

Crush the graham crackers. Spread them in a spring form pan with the 2 tbs sugar then pour the melted butter over and make a crust. You'll have to mix it all together and pat it down in the bottom of the pan.

For the cake (Small-Med Size)

3 8oz packs of cream cheese (softened)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla
3 eggs

(for a large cake add one more..... and get a way bigger pan)

Mix all these together until smooth and pour over the crust you have made and pop into the oven for 1 & 1/2 hours.


No Bake Cheesecake

1 graham cracker pie crust
1 container of cool whip
1 8oz package cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powered sugar
1 can of cherrys, strawberries or whatever you like on top.

Whip the Cream cheese, cool whip and powederd sugar together untill smooth and creamy. Pour into the pie crust and refridgerate for a few hours.
