Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl.
- Press the mixture onto the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the graham cracker mixture. If you don’t have graham crackers, crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers work well as substitutes. To make the crust even crunchier, bake it for 10 minutes at 350°F before filling. This recipe is similar to Really Easy Cheesecake, so you can use leftover crust for mini cheesecakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cheesecake triangles with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. They pair beautifully with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving alongside Teresa'S Pudding Dessert for a delightful contrast in flavors and textures.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheesecake triangles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to freeze them, wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and serve chilled.
