The first time I had this cheesecake was from QVC...My neighbor purchased this cheesecake and was telling me how very good it was and gave me a slice. I decided then that I could make this. I really only make it during the holidays. Very simple very easy but exquisite cheesecake. The taste is wonderful. The cheesecake from QVC used chocolate biscotti but I used a banana cake mix and added walnuts to the crust. The milk chocolate chip just adds the perfect finishing touch. I will be adding a picture as soon as I make it.
