Sue’s Tips
An easy, mess-free way to make graham cracker crumbs: Break crackers into pieces and place in freezer-strength zip-top bag. Gently pound with a rolling pin to make crumbs. Store leftover crumbs in the same bag.
Kick this dessert up a notch by offering your own homemade hot fudge sauce to drizzle over each cheesecake dessert.
