Servings: 10
Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 1/4 cups Nilla Wafer crumbs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar {packed}
- 8 tbsp butter {melted}
Filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups Cool Whip
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- For the crust: Grind the Nilla Wafer cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. {If you don't have a food processor or blender than add cookies to a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin} Mix together Nilla Wafer crumbs and brown sugar. Add melted butter and stir until crumbs are completely coated. Pour crumbs into a greased 9" spring form pan and press into the bottom and half way up the sides of pan. Refrigerate the crust until the filling is prepared.
- For the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Proceed to add powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing until incorporated. Finally, add Cool Whip to mixture and gently stir. Fold in sprinkles to the cheesecake mixture by hand {over stirring will cause the sprinkle colors to bleed into cheesecake}. Pour cheesecake mixture into prepared Nilla Wafer crust, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
- To serve: Cut cheesecake and top with whipped cream and extra sprinkles.
Notes
*A pie plate can be substituted for the spring form pan.
*To soften cream cheese quickly, put cream cheese onto a plate {remove wrapper} and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
