*I love cheesecake and this is a quick, no fuss recipe!  When I had my first baby and my mom was staying with us helping me out, she made this yummy dessert.  It has been one of my favorites since.

*I really like homemade graham cracker crusts.  Here is the recipe I use for the crust.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
1 package graham crackers finely crushes
1/4 cup sugar
3-4 Tbls butter or margarine melted

Stir together graham crackers and sugar.  Mix in melted butter completely. Press into a pie tin going up the sides too.  Bake at 300 degrees for 5-8 minutes.  Let cool before filling it.

  1. This was my favorite dessert as a kid. I called it "pink" because I would stir it up on my plate until it was a big pink blob.
