Step 1

Crust:
Throw all ingredients in the food processor and chop up together.
Press firmly into bottom and slightly up sides of a 9 or 10 inch springform pan.

Pour into pan - set it on another sheet to catch butter and place in 350 oven anywhere from 40 to 45 min for a 10 inch cake or 50 to 55 for a 9-inch cake. It will rise slowly and crack -no worries.

Take it out of the oven and while still hot smooth on topping.

Refrigerate overnight or at least a few hours.
