I saw this awhile ago on the Kraft site and have been dreaming of it ever since. Nanaimo Bars are popular in Canada and there is a reason for that. They are to die for! This cheesecake has to be good! Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups oreo baking crumbs |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
1/4 cup flaked coconut |
4 pkg. (250 g each) philadelphia brick cream cheese, softened |
1 cup sugar |
3 tbsp. bird's custard powder see note |
4 eggs |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
6 squares baker's semi-sweet chocolate |
note: when i make nanaimo bars i use vanilla pudding powder. i don't see why you couldn't use it for this as well. |
