I made this recipe for a cheesecake in a springform pan and baked it for 15 minutes. It came out perfect. And, my cheesecake comes out perfect every time! I also added a couple shakes of cinnamon to the graham cracker mixture!

In reply to Shelly. If it's a baked pie filling, I recommend pre-baking the crust. If it's a no-bake filling, you can still bake the crust but you'll want to let it cool completely. I typically skip baking the crust though if I'm using a no-bake filling.

What is should be the rule of thumb when to bake the graham cracker crust and when not to? Thanks.

In reply to Trin. I use 1/3 cup of sugar, you can find all of the measurements in the recipe card at the end of the post.

In reply to Vera. Hi Vera! It's not necessary to bake the crust. You certainly can if you want to make it a bit firmer and easier to slice. If you do bake it, just make sure to let it cool completely before adding your filling. Also, I know some readers outside the US use digestive biscuits in place of graham crackers. If you can find those then they should work.

Hi, I wanted to try my former American host mom’s recipe for Banana Cream Cheese Pie (which was incredible when she made it). The recipe asks for a ready-to-use Graham cracker pie crust which aren’t sold in German grocery stores I think, so I’m really glad I found your blog! I’m not sure if I have to bake the pie crust though: the pie isn’t supposed to go in the oven, but I’ll still wanna bake the crust before pouring the cream cheese onto it right? Also do you happen to know what kind of German crackers/biscuits I could substitute the Graham crackers with, because I’m not sure where to get those in Germany either… It’d be amazing if you could help me!

In reply to Danielle. Thank you so much Danielle. I was thinking that might set the crust for use. I’ll be making this soon. So happy to find you here. Shari

In reply to Shari. Hi, Shari! I would suggest pre-baking the crust for about 10 minutes for a cheesecake.

Hi Danielle,

So if I’m making a cheesecake I need to bake for fourty minutes, I just make the crust put in the pie mixture and cook? I don’t have to cook the pie crust separately first do I?
Thanks for this great recipe. I can’t wait to try it!
