Instructions
Mix graham crackers, sugar and melted butter and pat down into 7-9 inch springform pan.
Push the crust down with a measuring cup to pack the crust down. Freeze while preparing the cheesecake filling.
Cream together cream cheese and sugar until smooth, with a hand-held mixer.
In a standing mixer, whip heavy cream until thick.
Stir whipped cream, vanilla, and food coloring into the cream cheese and sugar mixture until smooth. Stir in most of the cookies, leaving a small amount to decorate the top of the cheesecake.
Pour the cheesecake filling onto the crust, and smooth out the top. Decorate the top of the cheesecake with the remaining cookies.
Refrigerate for 12 hours (or overnight) before serving.
To make the springform pan release easier (and for easier slicing), freeze for 15-20 minutes before serving.
