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.
Ingredients
- 2 c
- sugar cookie crumbs
- 1 stick
- butter
- 2
- bananas
- 2 - small pkg
- jello instant cheesecake
- cool whip or whipped cream (optional)
- 2 3/4 c
- milk
How to Make Banana Cheesecake with Cookie Crumb Crust
- 1Preheat oven to 350.
- 2Melt butter in microwave. (I did 30 seconds and then 30 more seconds.)
- 3Combine cookie crumbs and butter and press into the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking dish or pan.
- 4Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cool.
- 5Slice bananas and place slices over crumbs in pan.
- 6Make Cheesecake according to package directions and spread over bananas. May top with cool whip or whipped cream, if desired. Chill.
- 7NOTE: Package directions call for 2 3/4 cups milk, but another time I would use less for a firmer cheesecake.
