Adapted from a recipe I found in Sunset magazine around 1970. Back in those bad old days there were no frozen cheesecakes and recipes for cheesecake were few and far between. My mother loved cheesecakes and was thrilled when I found a recipe. This makes a firm, dense product. Preparation time doesn't include cooling.

Simple is what this cheesecake really is! In no time at all I had the ingredients blended together and the cheesecake in the oven. I did refrigerate overnight and we enjoyed this topped with cherry pie filling. The graham cracker crust has a slight nutty flavor, a wonderful mouth feel to the cheesecake itself, not overly tangy, every flavor comes thru! Thank you countrywife, we will enjoy this recipe again!
