Remember that cannoli dip I made last night? Well, I didn’t feel like dipping anymore and I thought that would be a great base for a no-bake cheesecake. I ended up pulverizing a couple of graham crackers for the crust and poured the rest of the cannoli dip on top of the graham cracker crust. Voila, it’s like a two-fer recipe. What a great idea, cause it turned out great. It’s best to put this in the freezer for a bit so it firms up before cutting.
Today, I noticed at the grocery store, that they have graham cracker crumbs already made up for you. That’s pretty sweet, and saves on time. Let’s see, what do I buy? The graham cracker squares or crumbs? I prefer to buy the squares cause you can use them for other things. I also have a food processor, so I don’t mind making the crumbs myself.
Tomorrow, I’ve got a recipe for DIY pumpkin pie spice for ya. Are you excited yet?
