Sara Lee is a well-known name when it comes to cheesecake. They are providing delicious cheesecakes along with other products like pound cake, whole wheat bread, coffee cake, pumpkin pie, and low-calorie bread.
Today, we are making the original Sara Lee Cheesecake. It’s a multi-stage process, but do not worry, we will make it simple for you.
The first stage is to make the crust with graham crackers, butter, and sugar. You need to make breadcrumbs of graham crackers and mix with other ingredients. Press the breadcrumbs in a pie dish and bake to make a firm crust.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling with cheesecake. Once baked, let it cool, and then pour the filling over the crust and bake it again for few minutes. Finally, garnish the cheesecake with toppings and enjoy!
