make a crumb base with graham cracker crumbs & melted butter, press into the base of a 9" pie dish,
mix 1lb (2 blocks) of cream cheese with about 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, and that is your basic cheesecake mix!.
you can add loads of different things to it after that, maybe cherry pie filling on the top, or lemon pie filling on the crumb base, then cheesecake mix on top of that (some white chocolate chips mixed in to the cheesecake mix is well nice)
or use an oreo crumb base then cookies & cream chocolate chopped and mixed in with cheese is soooo good -
the possibilities are endless, so long as you don't put eggs in the cheesecake mix you don't have to bake it - just chill it till the cheesecake is firm!.
