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.
