Cream cheese receipes

[CLARKS4]

I need a good but easy cheesecake receipe. Share your favorites. I've just discovered how much of a difference it makes to add cream cheese to something. LOL
I have bought the boxed cheesecakes and made those but I would like to have one that is made with cream cheese.
I have a real good brownie receipe that includes cream cheese if anybody is interested in it.

(we've also added bananas, pineapple, candy bar pieces, etc to the filling)

Just mix thoroughly with your mixer, pour into crumb crust. Let set in refrigerator for 30 minutes at least.
