Ingredients
Instructions
- Using a steel blade, crumble the graham crackers into the processor bowl and process until fine crumbs.
- Add butter, sugar, and nuts (if using).
- Process until the butter is well mixed into the crumbs.
- Line the bottom of a 10-inch spring-form pan with the mixture.
- Pack the mixture firmly into the pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a gluten-free option, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free cookies or crushed nuts. If you want a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a splash of almond extract to the crust mixture. Make sure to pack the crust tightly in the spring-form pan to prevent crumbling. If you're short on time, you can skip the nuts for a simpler version.
Serving Suggestions
This cheesecake can be served plain, but adding a fruit topping like strawberries or blueberries can elevate its flavor. Pair it with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Jackie'S Junk for a delightful dessert spread, perfect for gatherings or special occasions.

Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will last for up to 5 days. For best results, serve chilled. If you want to reheat it, do so gently in the microwave, but be cautious not to overheat, as it can change the texture.
