Notes: | Basic Cheesecake Crust
Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Mix the graham crackers and sugar, then add butter and mix with a fork until completely moistened.
2. Press mixture into the bottom and up 1/3rd of the side of a 9-inch springform pan. 3. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Variations: Use ginger snaps instead of graham crackers for a spicier crust or for cakes like pumpkin. 4. Use chocolate wafers instead of graham crackers for a chocolate, white chocolate, or certain fruit-flavored or ~topped cheesecakes like raspberry, cherry, or orange. 5. For a sweeter, moister crust (do this only if the cheesecake is going to get eaten quickly, because it gets mushy faster) use brown sugar instead of white. |
