#NationalCheesecakeDay

Happy National Cheesecake Day!

The only way to celebrate is to make cheesecake, obviously. This recipe is incredibly easy and you can customize it as you want with Oreos, fruit, chocolate, or even funfetti. Just put those ingredients in the batter or on top of your cheesecake before/after baking.

You can buy a pre-made graham cracker crust or make your own crust by mixing 1- 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup of white sugar, and 6 tablespoons of melted butter.

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350
• soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 20 seconds

We hope you enjoy! Don't forget that you can add your little ingredients to change the flavor of the cheesecake or add fruit jam on top.
