Using your fingers, form the crust, starting by lining the sides to create a crust about 1/4-inch thick, then press the remaining mixture onto the bottom to form the base. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass not only to flatten and even out the surface of the base but also to press against the sides, ensuring they are compact and uniform.

  • Hi Jenn ,
    Would this recipe work for a baked cheesecake in a springform pan? If so would it still need to be prebaked ?
    I’m afraid the crust will become too hard if it’s also prebaked before adding the batter..
    Thank you .

    • Hi Marlene, yes, this will work for a cheesecake in a springform pan and, yes, I would pre-bake the crust first; if not, the filling will likely make the crust soggy. Hope that helps!
