Firstly, select cookies that you like for the crust. I know, many people will go with the traditional Graham crackers but we experimented a lot and our choice was different - cookies called Maria. Probably they are not as popular as Graham crackers but in our opinion they fit much better for this recipe as they combine tender and crust features in a very unique way. Certainly, don't be afraid to experiment as there is no right or wrong in the kitchen. If you used a different ingredient you will end up with a new taste.
Secondly, keep the cheesecake in the refrigerator overnight. Be patient, so your cake will be frozen and be shaped perfectly.
