How long is this cheesecake baked? You happened to omit the time.


Forget that last comment. I see you had it mentioned at the top of the page where you indicated how long a recipe is cooked.


Whoops! Thanks for mentioning that I evidently forgot to paste part of the recipe!


This will definitely be Thanksgiving dessert this year. Ohhhhhh I can hardly wait.


Question: is it 1-1/2 cups of chocolate wafer cookies, crushed..... or 1-1/2 cups of crumbs???


Oops, I guess I wasn't clear, will edit. It's crushed crumbs


Just when I though I had every imaginable cheesecake recipe...along comes ANOTHER fantastic one!!
Thanks JJB!!
