Recipe Note
Note:
For a pie where the filling reuires baking, cover the crust with parchment while baking for 10 minutes, cool then fill with pie filling (ie. Pumpkin) and bake for required length of time, edges can be coverred in foil to avoid burning.
For No Bake Cheesecake: no need to bake the crust, press on bottom of springform pan and fill with no bake cheese cake topping.
For baked Cheesecake: prebake for 10 min in springform pan, then fill and bake as per your recipe.
