Basic Cheesecake Graham Cracker Crust
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 1 crust | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons melted butter
Combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar until well mixed. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
Press the mixture in the bottom and one-third up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator for one hour before using.
Variations: Use ginger snaps instead of graham crackers for a spicier crust, or for cheesecakes or pies such as 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 use brown sugar instead of white (note: brown sugar will make the crust get soggier faster so serve the cheesecake immediately).
