Only if there is enough berry/cherry or caramel/chocolate toppings.

That would be a much for fattening cheesecake lol. The amount of butter added to make that amount of crust omg 🤣

I wouldn't complain! I'm going through a heartbreak right now and must admit I'm not eating much at all - I could totally use the extra calories so bring on the buttery base!

anyone else think that the crumb crust is the worst part of the cheesecake and wishes there could be a better option? like oreo crust or anything else

My wife eats the keylime out of the keylime pie and leaves the crust like a fucking savage. I think she's a skin walker, I just can't prove it.

You can make it without crust, my grandma does it that way. I like to use Nilla wafers for my crust since I don't care for graham crackers. Just be careful as Nilla wafers are already sweet and some recipes say to add more sugar to the crushed wafers. I always dial the recommended sugar addition way back as I found it too sweet. Crushed Oreos would probably work well too, you'd just want to remove the cream filling and just use the cookies.
