🍴 FAQ
What else can I use for a no bake crust?
Crushed up graham crackers and melted butter mixed together to make a great crust option! We like to add them to the bowl of a food processor, and process that way. But you can also put them in a ziptop bag and roll over them with a rolling pin. Whichever way you choose for your cheesecake crust, once they’re into crumbs, pack them down or just lay it in the jar gently. Totally up to you. If you don’t want to do Graham crackers, you can use other cookies or crackers, like vanilla wafers.
Why is my No-bake cheesecake not firm?
Make sure that you give it time to firm up in the fridge. The chilling process is important to thicken it up!
