Crushed Graham crackers are a golden standard for cheesecake crust, and there is a reason for that. They are widely available, easy to work with, and complement the cheesecake flavor without being overpowering.
Still, just because your cheesecake recipe calls for Graham crackers crust, that doesn’t mean you need to follow it every time. Instead, take your cheesecakes to another level and try these crust alternatives instead.
Crushed Pretzel
Pretzels, the tiny snack version, work amazing with the cheesecake. They will give you a sweet and salty combo that you won’t be able to get enough of.
Coconut Flakes
Want your cheesecake crust to be more on the healthier side? Coconut flakes are the thing you need. They result in a light cheesecake, and the coconut flavor works amazing with fruity cheesecakes.
Crushed Oreos
Do we really need to explain this one? Crushed Oreos work amazingly with all cakes, and cheesecake is not an exception. Once you try it, you will say goodbye to Graham crackers forever.
Pistachios
If you really crave a decadent cheesecake, use pistachios as the crust. This is something high-end restaurants do frequently and get amazing results. Pistachio crust will add a nutty flavor to the cheesecake and irresistible crunchiness.
