Default Cooking last weekend - 3

Sunday morning... the cheesecake with chocolate chip cookie crust -

This one turned out amazingly well.

I used a large pyrex pie dish. The high one with the fluted top edge,
not the newer small ones with the smooth top edges.

I used about 10 or so of the homemade CC cookies, crumbled them and
added in about 2-3 tbs of melted butter. I pressed this into the dish
to make a nice crust.

Then poured in lots of cream cheese filling. I used 32 oz cream
cheese, 4 eggs, tsp vanilla extract, cup of sugar. I think that's
about it.

Anyway, this is the best cheesecake that I've ever made or bought. The
cc crust is definitely complimentary to the plain vanilla filling.

YMMV! :-D
