Banana Cheesecake with Cookie Crumb Crust image

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.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

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