Do You Have To Bake Graham Cracker Crust For Cheesecake?
Yes, it is recommended to bake a graham cracker crust for a cheesecake. Baking the crust helps to set it and prevent it from becoming too crumbly when adding the cheesecake filling. It also adds a nice toasty flavor to the crust. However, if you are short on time or prefer a no-bake cheesecake, you can skip the baking step and chill the crust in the fridge before adding the filling.
