Directions

Once you have all your ingredients, putting this cheesecake together is as easy as it can be. First, preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Then mix all your ingredients for the crust and push them down flat in your pie pan.

Next, beat all your filling ingredients together until the mixture is smooth. After that, spread it out onto the pie crust, making sure it’s all as even as possible. Put the pie in the oven for one hour. Take it out and let it cool for 15 minutes before covering it and putting it into the refrigerator for four hours.

Finally, take it out, and enjoy sharing it with family and friends. Everyone in your crew is sure to love this deliciously sweet recipe!
