Cook's Notes:
The graham crackers in your cupboard may not be vegan. Nabisco Grahams Original and Keebler Cinnamon Grahams both are. Honey and dairy products, like milk, whey, or butter, are usually the culprits in nonvegan grahams, so check the ingredient list.
If you want a taller cheesecake--this one will be about 1 inch thick, more like a tart--use a smaller springform.
The cake can be made up to 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. To prevent moisture droplets from collecting on the surface of the cheesecake while it chills, drape a paper towel over the pan and set a large plate on top.
