This was just great! So easy and great taste! I subbed pecans for walnuts, due to a personal perference, and have since used this crust in other pie recipes that call for graham cracker crust - much better! I gave some to to my SIL and her family loved it too. Thank you for a great desert and super great crust!!

Tigerjo well deserves an A for this recipe. I don't have an exciting story about the same recipe I have had for about 15 years, but I do know it's a great recipe. It's a quick cheesecake without the hassle of a springform pan. I eventually doubled the recipe and use a 9 x 13 pan so we'd have more to go around. Thanks Tigerjo, it's one of my all time favorites.
