Cheesecake

This is my Mom's recipe for yummy Cheesecake. I used Vanilla Wafers in cupcake tins instead of baking the crust in a 9x13 dish. (a trick I learned from my Mother!) And I used cherry pie filling for the topping. Super easy!
Cheesecake

Crust:
2 cups flour
1 cup melted butter

Mix together and pat into 9x13 or 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Filing:
1- 8 oz. softened cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 small container of Cool Whip

Mix cream cheese & sugar. Fold in Cool Whip. Pour over crust.

Topping:
2 pkgs Danish Dessert (for a 9x13 pan) or
1 pkg Danish Dessert (for 8x8 pan)

Prepare as directed on package. Can add fruit (strawberries or cherries). Pour over filling. Chill for 12 hours.
