Have you made this with a cheesecake that needs to be baked? I have found a lot of nut pie crust recipes but they all say to only use with a no-bake pie.
Yes, Heidi, I have!
Heidi, just know that you don’t need to bake the crust like it says in the instructions, if you’re going to bake it with filling. In other words, don’t pre-bake it, just fill it and then bake it as you’d like for your cheesecake.
Thanks! I am trying it this round with a banana cream filling. Next time, I will try a cheesecake. 😍
