The Graham cracker cheesecake crust is a delicious classic that originated in the United States, where Graham crackers are very popular as an ingredient for crusts and desserts. In other Latin American countries, although Graham crackers themselves are not always so common, this type of crust is adapted using similar cookies, and the name may simply vary to "cookie crust for tart" or "sweet cookie base." This preparation has spread internationally thanks to the popularity of cheesecake, considered one of the most cherished recipes for special occasions and family gatherings.
In countries such as Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and Colombia, it is common to find variations of the crust made with María cookies or whole wheat cookies, although the characteristic texture and flavor of Graham crackers provide a unique touch. This crust provides firm support and a delicate sweet flavor that perfectly complements the creamy filling of cheesecakes, creating an irresistible contrast.
