Directions:
Directions:
First, assemble Graham Cracker Crust:

Mix together and line a 9" or 10" pie pan (I have always put it into an oblong pan). Be sure to press well on bottom and along sides with hands.

Second, assemble filling:

Whip cream cheese until light. Add all other ingredients, blend and beat well - about 2 minutes. Pour into graham cracker crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until set at 350º. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes - IMPORTANT.

Third, assemble topping while cooling:

Pour over pie and bake another 10 minutes. Remove, cool and refrigerate at least 5 hours.

For larger cake - double recipe using 3 - 8 oz. pkgs. cheese. Increase baking time to 40 min. or until set and cool about 20 min. before adding topping. Bake 20 min. after adding topping. Bake in 9 X 13 pan.
