Lowest Syn biscuit base for cheesecake?

[lesleyanne]

I am desperate to get a cheesecake right! I want to use the quark/white choc options idea. I am looking for a recipe for that but more importantly I am looking for a low syn biscuit base....I would be grateful for any ideas....

I used melted choc and fudge Alpen bars. 2 are your HEX B

I tried that, but it came out very hard....perhaps I over microwaved them!

I use Oreos... 2.5syns each. I also never use butter to hold them together as I find its not needed and a waste of syns!!!

Rich tea fingers are only one syn each, although I'm not sure how well they'd work for a cheesecake base?

I recently tried hobnob chocolate chip and hazelnut cookies which were absolutely gorgeous! And only 2.5 Syns each. They'd make a delicious base

i think ryvita (HEBB) should work, blend it until its tiny crumbs, I'm not sure what you could use to bind it however maybe egg?

I just left it in the fridge as I made it in the morning! Should be set after 1hr but I haven't checked....
