The list is complete. They tell you to buy the jello no bake cheesecake mix. This is a box that has all the dry ingredients you need in it. That's what they mean when they say crust mix. I've used them before they're very good

I'm a bit confused. The directions say to mix "Crust Mix" but I don't see this in the ingredient list. It also says to "Beat milk and Filling Mix". I see the milk in the ingredient list, but not this "filling mix". Am I missing something? The ingredient list appears to be incomplete.

I made this recipe last year for Thanksgiving, and it was such a hit that it was requested again this year! Nobody could believe how simple it was to make.

This cheesecake was pretty good, easy to make much better then the store bought cakes.
