What Is The Best Type Of Crust To Use When Baking A Cheesecake?

I have a cheesecake mix from scratch that I want to make and it says to bake it. What is the best type of crust to use?

graham cracker crust is most traditional, very yummy. But you can pretty much use any type of dry cookie out there (chocolate, peanut butter, ginger, lemon, etc) in the recipe instead of the crackers to make it a little different. Your just basically crumbling up the cookies/crackers and adding melted butter to it and pressing it into a thin crust inside of your spring form pan. If you use the oreo cookies make sure you scrape the creme out which can then be added in chunks to the cheesecake batter. Generally crusts are on the bottom of the cheese cake only. If you want it on the sides too press some extra crust onto the sides after it's been baked.

Baked cheese cakes do not have a crust! You just bake it in a springform pan. As in this recipe…

EDIT

Have ANY of you actually ever made a BAKED CHEESECAKE from scratch??? You are all giving directions for the no-bake type cheescakes. If that is what she had it would have included directions for making the crust right on the box.

doesn’t the recipe give you a crust to make with it? Well, I have always used a graham cracker crust, but I try to spread it into the spring form pan as thinly as possible.

graham cracker crust. You can make it yourself, or you can buy a premade one in a foil pan at the store.
Sounds yummy, now I want some cheese cake.
Good luck
Hope this helps!

It all depends on what kind of cheesecake you are making. If the recipe is a simple cheesecake without flavoring, then you can stick with the traditional graham cracker crust. However, if you want to jazz it up a bit, you can incorporate a lot of different things into the crust to make it special. Try a chocolate graham cracker crust. You can also chop up any kind of nuts in a food chopper/grinder and add it to the crust. Finely chopped macadamia nuts go real well with a chocolate graham cracker crust, for example.

cheesecake mix from scratch … what?

when I make cheesecake from scratch, it doesn’t have a crust … for mini / cheesecake bites, then I used crushed graham crackers or nilla wafers mixed with a little butter to hold it together
