- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/4 cup bourbon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Combine crushed Black & White Cookies and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press mixture firmly onto bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in freezer for at least 10 minutes.
