You can crush the cookies in a blender or food processor, or simply put them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
No baked, chocolate, raspberry, lime, lemon, etc. - Do you know what they all have in common? It's a crunchy shortbread base that no cheesecake can do without!
Of course, you can make a cheesecake without a base, but that's not the case anymore. For nothing beats the magical combination of a crispy base with a delicate creamy filling. Therefore, we will take a closer look at different options for how you can make a cake for a cheesecake.
The quickest and easiest way to make a base for a cheesecake is to take the finished cookies, crush them into crumbs, mix with butter and place on the bottom of the mold.
In the classic, Graham crackers are used for these purposes, if they are not available in the store, you can cook it yourself. Or just take another cookie. As an option, jubilee shortbread cookies or some other, which is your favorite - to your taste.
How to grind cookies into crumbs?
Next, you need to mix the resulting cookie crumbs with butter - you can take butter at room temperature, or you can pre-melt it in a water bath or in the microwave. In addition to butter, you can add sugar or powdered sugar (if your cookie is not very sweet).
Lyrical digression: do you know how to cut a finished cheesecake into perfectly even pieces? Use dental floss, if not available, regular floss will do. And if you wake up to cut it with a knife, then stock it up with a damp kitchen towel: wipe the knife with it after each cut. So the slices on top will be perfectly flat without any crumbs and curds of cheese.
Pour the prepared mass for the base of the cheesecake into a mold, distribute it evenly and tamp it with a glass with a flat bottom or a jar.
The cake can be made "flat", or with high sides. In the second option, simply increase the indicated amount of ingredients in the selected recipe.
As I said above, the cookies for the base of the cheesecake can be anything. You can even take salted sticks (if you like them).
Or an oreo sandwich cookie or something else. In this case, you have two options: first remove the filling from it, or leave it.
If you grind cookies into crumbs in a blender, its presence will not interfere with you, and moreover, it will probably even improve the taste of the finished cake.
In addition, you can use chocolate-covered cookies, especially when preparing cheesecakes such as "snickers" or "ferrero roche" and the like.
Add additionally hazelnuts and cocoa for the perfect cheesecake base in your pocket!
In general, do not be afraid to add various flavors and flavorings to cookies. Lemon peel.
Or even apple juice or puree.
By the way, the base of cookies can be made without oil, it can be replaced with milk, some kind of juice, or even just water. True, the finished cake will be softer and "juicier" than with butter, consider this if you like a "dry" crumbly base.
Do not forget about nuts.
Ginger will not be superfluous, especially in combination with the same nuts and orange zest.
Or here is such an original version with praline: a caramel chip in the base - it's ingenious!
For this recipe you will need:
Cooking progress step by step in the photo and under the cut - video instruction.
Video instruction for preparing the base for cheesecake from 2:44 to 5:33:
You can also play with the texture by adding waffles or cornflakes to the cookies.
Or even take oatmeal, an option for those who monitor calories, but are not on a diet. Please note: they are fried in a dry frying pan - as a result, we get almost granola (add nuts and honey and it will be the same).
Well, since I’ve already started talking about granola, I’m a little naughty and, in the end, I’ll give you the idea of "no cookies" - the granola recipe itself. This "base" is very convenient to use when preparing portioned cheesecakes.
The cooking process and the necessary ingredients for step-by-step photo instructions and, in addition, a video recipe.
In the classics, cookies are used for the base, but this does not mean that you cannot experiment!
So, for example, in a vegan cheesecake, the base is made from nuts. And it's very tasty, I think it's even here, and there is nothing to argue.
In the photos below, there are a few specific recipes that you will surely like.
Cornflakes - many of us simply adore them since childhood. And that it is as convenient as cookies. But you shouldn't grind them into "flour". It is better to either slightly crumple, or even leave intact.
They can be paired with melted chocolate: black, milk, white - and a delicious cheesecake base is ready.
However, additional additives in the form of butter and sugar (if your cereal is not sweet enough) will not spoil it in any way - but this is a matter of everyone's taste.
In addition, one cannot fail to notice the rich choice among breakfast cereals. This can also add crunchy balls to the cornflakes.
Shortbread dough is a separate topic for conversation and you cannot tell about it in a nutshell. Therefore, who is interested in all the subtleties and nuances of its preparation: welcome to the next article.
And here we will consider only a couple of recipes for shortbread cheesecake cakes.
With the addition of two yolks.
We look at the photo and video instructions.
And the second recipe is with one protein. Therefore, the recipe for the base of shortcrust pastry is prepared much faster. In the sense that they quickly mixed all the ingredients, rolled them into the oven.
Here, too, I will give only a couple of options, since you can make a biscuit cake according to your favorite recipe or a brownie chocolate brownie, etc.
Now let's consider the "troublesome" version with the "streusel" confectionery crumb with the addition of almond flour and the faster version with chopped almonds. By idea, it is fashionable to say almond base for cheesecake.
Required Ingredients for Pastry Crumb:
If almond flour is not available, you can replace it with regular flour.
All the steps are prescribed in the photo instructions step by step.
In addition, beginners will benefit from a video instruction (from 3:17 to 5:55):
And the second recipe. Here, the almonds need to be chopped into small crumbs in a blender. Mix with melted butter, flour and sugar - knead the dough. Put it in a mold, prick it with a fork and send it to an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes (depending on the power of your oven).
To make a dietary base, you can use three ingredients: oatmeal / flour, chickpeas and how strange it sounds meringue.
The oat base for cheesecake, as I mentioned above, can be made either from oatmeal or oat flour, or you can combine them together. In addition, as with cookies, you can add various flavors, even nuts.
Of course, depending on what you supplement them with, you can increase the number of calories. But the very fact of replacing shortbread cookies with oatmeal already reduces the calorie content, and then everyone will decide for himself which option is right for him.
First oatmeal cheesecake crust with muesli and butter. Those. just replaced the cookies with oatmeal. Butter, as with cookies, can be added either melted or at room temperature.
Instead of muesli with nuts, you can take pure nuts, and it would also be nice to add orange or lemon zest.
Coconut flakes are also a great addition to the oat base of cheesecake.
In addition, instead of butter, you can take vegetable oil (refined - odorless).
Well, who needs a base with a minimum amount of calories, a recipe with dried apricots or prunes is suitable. In principle, such a base can not be heat treated (someone loves it in its raw form), but you can not “bake” in the oven for a long time.
Instead of dried apricots, you can take dates. And if you really want to, add a little nuts - after all, this is a useful product.
Or a duet of oatmeal with chocolate pudding.
Oat base can be prepared with the addition of eggs in one form or another (whole egg, pure yolk or white). True, in this case, the cake will need to be baked.
Low calorie cheesecake base with whipped protein and water.
To improve the taste, you can add cocoa, some kind of sweetener and milk, because it does not contain so many calories. In addition, you can take low-calorie milk - everything is better than just water.
Video recipe for making such a cake + ricotta cheese filling.
Alternatively, applesauce can be used to enhance the flavor.
The apple can be simply grated. Or pre-bake in the oven, and even faster take baby food puree. By the way, it is not only with apple flavor.
And of course, banana is a more nutritious alternative to apple.
Both banana and apple can be used in a no-bake recipe (no eggs).
Chickpeas are not a standard substitute for cookies in cheesecake. And in general in desserts. But if you love it, be sure to try it in this form.
To cook chickpeas faster, soak it overnight, then it will cook in about an hour.
Grind the chickpeas, boiled until tender, in a blender and mix with honey or maple syrup.
Please note: when grinding, you can leave large pieces, or you can puree it to a perfectly homogeneous texture.
Such a base is also prepared as without baking (after all, we boiled chickpeas, so you don't have to bake).
So it is with baked goods.
In addition, you can additionally add applesauce or banana.
Well, the last option is meringue. A very unusual and unconventional cheesecake base - why not?
Prepare meringues according to your favorite recipe, or buy ready-made meringues at the store. Just break them to the bottom of the mold and the original cheesecake crust is ready (and most importantly, it is low in calories). Fill the meringue crumbs with cheese cream and jelly for a delicious cheesecake. As for me, this is a very cool idea!

And this is where I conclude a selection of options for how you can prepare a base for a cheesecake. Good luck with your experiments!
