Instructions
- 1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325°F (165°C). Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan tightly with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil, covering the bottom and coming up the sides — this prevents water from seeping in during the water bath.

In a medium bowl, stir together the crushed graham crackers, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and melted dairy free butter until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to compact it. Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust is set and lightly golden at the edges. Remove and let cool while you prepare the filling.
