Basic Cheesecake Crust Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 1/2 cups | 219g / 7.7oz | Crushed graham crackers - (1 package) |
| 1/4 cup | 49g / 1.7oz | Sugar |
| 5 tablespoons | 75ml | Melted butter |
Mix the graham crackers and sugar, then add butter and mix with a fork until completely moistened. Press mixture into the bottom and up 1/3rd of the side of a 9-inch Springform pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Variations:
Use ginger snaps instead of graham crackers for a spicier crust or for cakes like pumpkin. Use chocolate wafers instead of graham crackers for a chocolate, white chocolate, or certain fruit-flavored or topped cheesecakes like raspberry, cherry, or orange.
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.
