Place this dry mix in a pie plate and mix in water in which you have dissolved lemonade from concentrate. Mix until granola-wheat germ mix is evenly moistened. Press into the plate, shaping edges carefully. Pre-heat oven at 350 F for 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.

THIS RECIPE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BAKING THE CHEESECAKE. THE WEBSITE DOESN'T CLARIFY IT EITHER. MAYBE IT SETS UP ON ITS OWN AND DOESN'T NEED BAKING? I HAVEN'T TRIED IT, I JUST COLLECT CHEESECAKE RECIPES.
