We received some sugar cookies at Christmas that were very hard. Not wanting to waste them, I pulverized them in my food processor to make crumbs for a crumb crust.

How To Make banana cheesecake with cookie crumb crust

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

Melt butter in microwave. (I did 30 seconds and then 30 more seconds.)
Step 3

Combine cookie crumbs and butter and press into the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking dish or pan.
Step 4

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cool.
Step 5

Slice bananas and place slices over crumbs in pan.
Step 6

Make Cheesecake according to package directions and spread over bananas. May top with cool whip or whipped cream, if desired. Chill.
Step 7

NOTE: Package directions call for 2 3/4 cups milk, but another time I would use less for a firmer cheesecake.
