Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8 in. baking pan. In a small bowl, mix first 3 ingredients and then mix in the melted butter. Reserve 1/3 cup of this mixture and gently pat the remaining crumbs into the bottom of your pan. Bake this base for 12 to 15 minutes, it should be a little browned.
Meanwhile, in the small bowl of your electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smoothe. Add the remaining ingredients, beat at medium speed until combined. Pour this over your baked crust and sprinkle the reserved crumbs over the top. Bake this an additional 25 minutes until set.
