Help!! DH wants a new york style cheesecake for his birthday and all my recipe books are Canadian and use graham crackers to make a crumb crust. I can't seem to find them in any shops. Any ex-pats out there know a good substitute, or anybody have a good crumb crust recipe to share?
My Joy of Cooking suggests ginger snaps, but I think that may be too strong in flavor ![]() PS - it's for a 10 inch springform pan. Thanks! |

I usually use Marie biscuits.
The best recipe I have has a pinch of cinnamon together with the crumbs and butter. |

Arrowroot or wheatmeal biscuits would be fine too.
Happy cheesecake making. |

Aardvark, the recipe I'm looking at uses cardomon in the crust. Not sure how it will go! |

I use Granita biccies for a normal crust or choc ripple cookies for a chocolate crust.
Both Arnott's products. Good luck! |

I use Scotch Finger biscuits for cheesecake crusts. I crush them up and add melted butter to hold them together. Just take the weight of the biscuits mentioned in the recipe and choose what you fancy really
