I ORGINALLY saw this recipe float around Facebook last year, However the recipe called for a store bought crust. I'm not a fan of pre-made graham cracker crusts. You can choose to buy one or make your own. I personally think this tastes better with a homemade crust.
I highly recommend you read the instructions closely, I accidentally added in a whole bag of Funfetti cake mix when the recipe didn't call for it. With four kids I am constantly tired and running behind, I was super tired the day I made this. However, regardless it turned out extremely thick and still fine. It was more of a cookie dough texture and tasted similar to cookie dough.
I highly recommend this recipe when made the right way. Below is the recipe to make this fun cheesecake. You also can use other cake mix if you prefer!
