I used a graham crucker crust. Recipe only made 20, but the results were great.

Made these for a Graduation Party, using Blueberry Pie filling for topping. They were so EASY to make and a BIG hit - gone in no time, despite a large selection of other desserts! Will definitely make again!

Of course I love cheesecake and the nice thing about these is that they are serving sized so I don't overindulge!
