Quick Girl Scout Cheesecake

So you guys all know that I get lazy and take the easy way out too often. And well.. this is no exception.

There is a brand called Wind & Willow and they make these awesome dip and cheeseball mixes. I fell in love with them when I worked at a kitchen shop a few years ago.

So I had the idea to take their White Chocolate Amaretto Cheeseball mix and make a Caramel deLite Girl Scout cookie cheesecake.

 

I used the recipe for the cheesecake on the back of the Wind & Willow box (Their mix, 8oz cream cheese, 8oz whipped topping)

and then I added in 6 cookies. The mixer crushed the cookies but if you are mixing by hand then I suggest you pulverize them inside of a baggie first.

For the crust I used graham cracker crumbs, 6 cookies, 1/3 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar. Baked at 350 for 10 minutes. You may want to bake it maybe 8 minutes depending on your stove. 

I let them chill over night but it would've probably only taken 2 hours or so to chill. 

 

I used four 6" springform pans

The almond topping came with the Wind & Willow Mix

 

Crust

1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup butter

1/4 cup brown sugar or white sugar (it will change the taste)

6 Caramel deLite Girl Scout cookies (crushed)

 

Mix and Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Cool.
