For the Cheesecake Pudding - cream cheese - butter; softened - powdered sugar - milk - cheesecake instant pudding mix - pure vanilla extract - Cool Whip Whipped Topping
– Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar into a mixing bowl. Stir together until everything is combined.
– In the bowl of the KitchenAid mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
– Allow the pudding/cream cheese mixture to set until just firm. Since we're using instant pudding mix, this takes about 5 minutes.
– Place crumb mixture in the bottom of the jar and compress using the tart tamper. This is the base of the cheesecake.
