1 1/2 cup ground Vanilla Wafers
6 T melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
In small bowl, combine wafers, butter and sugar. Mix until crumbly. Press into a 9" spring form pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate.
Filling:
1 Envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Rum extract

2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar

In Large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and light, add powdered sugar until smooth then slowly add the gelatin mixture while mixing. Blend all ingredients thoroughly until smooth.
