Fluffy Cheesecake Filling
8 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 c powdered sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
1 TBS vanilla
1 tub Cool Whip
Add first four ingredients, one at a time to mixer. Mix well. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread on top of graham cracker crust. Add berries or other toppings.
In my notes I had even written "similar to Luby's double-crusted cheesecake". So there, Luby's.
While the cream cheese was getting soft, I used THIS graham cracker crust recipe. I didn't use it all in the pie plate and saved enough to sprinkle on top. I didn't check but I think it might be the same as Dodo's. While the crust was cooling, I mixed up the filling. Once cooled, I spread the filling in the crust and started to sprinkle the extra crust bits over the top. I realized I had enough to cover the pie so I did. My top crust wasn't as thick as Luby's but I was fine with that. I chopped up a few strawberries and mixed them with powdered sugar so we could try a couple of slices of cake with a fruit topping.
Voila!
Melanie's Double-Crusted Cheesecake
They can keep their $4 slice of cheesecake. They didn't win this one.
Not today, Luby's. Not today.
