If your going to use this recipe you had better add sugar to the crust other wise it will stay crumbly and will be impossible to spread the cream cheese mixture. I found this out the hard way

Kimmie - I LOVE your recipes! I've never gone wrong with anything I choose from your collection. I have been looking all over for a recipe that matches a recipe my best friends mom made when I was in high school. This is it! Creamy, delicious and so incredibly good! I added some sugar to the graham cracker crust mixture, but other than that made the recipe exactly as written. Thanks so much for another excellent recipe!
