A cheesecake recipe usually includes the recipe for the crust. The ingredients for the crust tend to include cookies. However, if you are making a healthier cheesecake, you should opt for a healthier crust.
It was a surprise to find a cheesecake crust recipe that did not require cookies. Because I did not have all of the ingredients on hand, I made some substitutions and created the Coconut Pecan Cheesecake Crust that is available on the THA Recipes page. It is a great recipe and a healthier alternative to the cookie based cheesecake crust. Use it and share it.
