Decant Cheesecakes!

Okay Linda, I found the step stool, climbed up it, and onto the counter, geesh, it used to be easier, hmmmmmmmmf, dusted off the one particular cookbook the recipe comes from.............

The Treasury of CREATIVE COOKING
(**Even has gold leaf on the edges of every page*)

TURTLE PECAN CHEESECAKE

Makes one 9~inch cheesecake

2 Cups crushed chocolate cookies or vanilla wafers *approximately 8 ounces cookies*
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
2 1/2 (8~ounces) packages cream cheese, softened
1 Cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all~purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
2 tablespoons whipping cream
**Carmel Topping (recipe follows)
**Chocolate Topping (recipe follows)
1 Cup chopped toasted pecans

Preheat oven to 450*F. Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of a 9~inch springform pan. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy. Add sugar, flour, salt adn vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in cream. Pour over crust. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200*F; continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until set.

You can cheat a bit, if you don't want to go to
all the fuss of making those chocolate and caramel toppings *although they are scrumptous*,
You can go to the section in your grocery store that has the banana split supplies and use those!!
Caramel, Chocolate, Strawberries, even Pineapple too if you like that stuff!!!
