There are all types of crusts for cheesecakes ranging from crumb crusts, nut
crusts, shortdough crusts, sponge cake, and probably some that I haven't
mentioned. Without seeing the recipe, it would hard to comment on the
substitution.

Come to think of it, I guess i was envisioning a pie crust. somehow i
just didn't parse the word 'cheesecake'. It is friday after all.

powdered sugar mixed with graham cracker crumbs and butter would be Bad.
I think you need granulated for that job.

To answer the recipe question it is the 2 cups graham crackers, 1/2
stick butter and 1/3 cup suger. Anyway, I do appreciate the responses
and I agree with sticking to regular sugar. My mind sometimes flies
away to the outer regions of the universe.
