Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter melted

Directions

Mix the graham crackers and sugar, then add butter and mix with a fork until completely moistened.

Press mixture into the bottom and up 1/3rd of the side of a 9-inch springform pan.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Variations: Use ginger snaps instead of graham crackers for a spicier crust or for cakes like pumpkin.

Use chocolate wafers instead of graham crackers for a chocolate, white chocolate, or certain fruit-flavored or ~topped cheesecakes like raspberry, cherry, or orange.

For a sweeter, moister crust (do this only if the cheesecake is going to get eaten quickly, because it gets mushy faster) use brown sugar instead of white.

Christmas - A Brief History Of The World’s Favourite Party

by Josh Khan

It’s pretty amazing how in five seconds a new year can begin but you still feel the same. Sure your surroundings may drastically change (especially if you’re at Times Square in New York) but you don’t feel different. That’s the magic of New Years ...
