*I love cheesecake frozen and one of my brothers and my favorite pies is "Edwards Key Lime Pie". Which is a lime cheese cake with graham cracker crust. I put mine directly into the freezer for overnight. The next day the creamy cheesecake filling has frozen into a dense icecreamy cheesecake consistency. Instead of buying an already prepared graham cracker crust I found a cheesecake box mix on sale that had a graham cracker crust mix in it. It was cheaper to just buy that and not use the cheesecake mix with the box. (save it for later for other desserts of course)
