BASIC CHEESECAKE CRUST:

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecakes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 c Crushed graham crackers
-(1 package)
1/4 c Sugar
5 tb 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.
