busy cooks, has just been introduced.
P ie creamy cheesecake, accented with
semi-sweet chocolate pieces, has only

ready in 15 minutes. This rich cheese
sets the standard for quality and is a
favorite o f restaurant chefs and home
cooks alike.
The new cheesecake has a graham
cracker crust and an easy filling com
bining three packages o f cream cheese,
sugar, eggs, miniature semi sweet
chocolate pieces and vanilla The
cheesecake can he varied by adding a

has had a chance to soften. To soften
cream cheese, allow to stand at room
temperature .V) minutes. To soften in
a microwave oven, remove foil wrap
per. Microwave on Medium (SOA^al

• Crumbs for cheesecake crust can
be made quickly with the use o f a
blender or food processor. When
using a fix x l processor, best results
arc achieved by using the shredding
disc. W'hen using a blender for crumb
making, be sure to break the crackers
before placing them in the blender,
