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 use brown sugar instead of white; do this only if the cheesecake is going to get eaten quickly because it gets mushy faster.
