Homemade Cherry Cheesecake

My homemade cheesecake has become a favorite at our family gatherings, so for Christmas dinner I had to make it.  Thought I would share. 

First, the crust.  Two cups of graham cracker crumbs, 4 tbsp sugar.  Then melt 1/2 cup margarine, mix together.

Put in large dish, and flatten.

Next step, prepare 2 packages of dream whip as per package directions.

Mix.

Put in a separate bowl until you do next step.

Next step, is to take 2 pkgs of cream cheese and mix with 2 cups of icing sugar until smooth.

When smooth, add the dream whip, and mix together.  Scrapping sides of bowl if needed.

When done it is nice and smooth.  It doesn't take very long to mix together.

  

Add to crust.

Spread evenly.  I wrapped mine and froze it until the weekend.  I bought a can of cherry pie filling and a can of blueberry pie filling and will do half and half.  You don't put the filling on top until you are ready to serve.  Can't wait!
