Do you have a great recipe for CHEESECAKE CRUST!?

Question

That doesn't have use grahm crackers. I don't like them.

Answer 1

Most "crustless" cheesecakes do, in fact, have a crust. It is usually flour mixed with lemon zest and sugar and glued together with a little butter. I do that sometimes for my crust.

I don't like Grahm Crackers either. I make a lot of cheesecakes. For the crusts, I use Oreo cookies! Put the whole oreo's into the food processor until fine crumbs (about half a package per cheesecake). Toss the crumbs with some melted butter enough to make it sticky. Pat in springform pan. Bake it for about 9 minutes at 450. Remove from the oven and pour in your batter for New York Cheesecake. IF you have leftover crumbs or a whole cookie, you can put it in the center of the cake. I mound my crumbs in the center like a little brush pile. Then put it back in the oven at 450. After 10 minutes, reduce it to 325 and let cook an additional 40 minutes or more until done. Bon Appetit!
